ABOUT

We have an incredible opportunity to reshape culture! God has given us a short span of 6 years to influence children for him! Studies show that from the ages of 3-9 children are discovering what they believe, who they believe in and why the believe! The will spend the next 3 years testing out what they have learned…after the age of 13, 87% of people will never change their views. We must reach this generation, if current trends hold, by the time the kids in JAM (preschool) graduate high school only 4% of Americans will be practicing Christians.

The ball is in our court, God has given us gifts, time, talents, finances and most important a mission field! He has chosen us to help Him in His redeeming of our world! WE GET TO HELP! Each of us plays a very important part!

If you would like to help you can contact Pastor Josh today and He will set up an interview to see where you can best help THIS GENERATION OF CHILDREN BECOME LIFELONG FOLLOWERS OF JESUS!

FIREWHEEL KIDS

The goal of Firewheel Kids is to develop lifelong followers of Jesus.
We want our JAM’ers to know that God loves me.

JAM

When you are a pre-schooler, and the world is bursting with newness.
Each day is filled with one new discovery after another. Where did that bird come from? Look, the moon is shaped funny tonight! Who thought to color the butterfly like that?
JAM uses engaging activities to introduce pre-school children (ages birth to five) to God. We want to give children a first impression of their heavenly Father and the wonder of His love for each one of them.
Each JAM class and lesson will INCITE WONDER in the heart of a preschooler.

HEIRFORCE

Elementary-age kids are in a constant state of discovery. Think about all the different things they are trying for the first time and what they’re learning every day, even how to make (and keep) friends.
How can we tap into the way kids are naturally wired to discover’ so they can begin to experience for themselves who God is, how He sees them and how much He loves them? How can we show them God’s big story and help them discover the active part they can play in this life-long adventure, to be a lifelong follower of Jesus?

In HEIRFORCE we encourage the kids to live out their new understanding of how to grow in relationship with God and with others. (Luke 2:52)
