Supporting Parents to Lead Their Children to Discover the Greatest Treasure - Jesus Christ
​
​Parents have the most influence in their children's lives. Our goal is to support them in their spiritual responsibility to shepherd & train their children in the word of God.  We do this two ways: first, by teaching the word of God in the classroom, and second, to provide materials to help parents shepherd their children's hearts to be awakened to the joy of knowing Christ for themselves.

"​The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." ​ 
                                                                         Matthew 13:44 ESV
