The Mission & Strategy

To love preschoolers and their families into a closer relationship with Jesus. We love children, and we want them to love Jesus!

We strive to accomplish this by:

  • Partnering with Parents: We work to equip parents to be the primary disciplers of their children.
  • Protecting Children: By providing a safe and secure environment, we aim for every child to learn from the Bible through conversation, singing, play, and group time.
