Both our Early Childhood & Elementary programs use the Awana Sunday Curriculum called Brite. Brite goes through the whole story of the Bible each year, highlighting different stories so kids leave 5th grade with a strong foundation of the Biblical narrative.
The Brite units are:
God’s Big Story
Patriarchs & Exodus
Promised Land & Judges
Kings & Times of Trouble
Arrival of Jesus
Jesus’ Ministry
Teachings of Jesus
The Early Church
Church Letters

Early Childhood (2s - Kinder), begins with an opening activity (Usually an open center play-based activity), followed by song time, puppet show, lesson time, craft, and plenty of time for play!
Elementary begins with play time in our gym, followed by Large Group Time which includes musical worship, a group game, an intro video, and teaching time. After Large Group, kids engage in small group activities that reinforce the Bible lesson for the day.
