We believe that everyone needs a biblical worldview, especially the next generation. Designed for 1st through 6th graders "Proof" will take a look at places that have been excavated or traditionally remembered from God's Word. By seeing these places and hearing things explained and linked to the Bible, we hope to help solidify our kids' faith in Jesus and in what the Word of God says. We want to take them beyond the "stories" of the Bible to the "historical facts".
We will meet every week in the Deck Room at 9am from June 2nd to July 28th.

Please make sure to go with your child the first time they are attending to get checked in!
