In Promiseland, children are taught creative, age-appropriate
curriculum. This means that Bible lessons are both developmentally
and spiritually appropriate for your child, as well as fun. Children
learn that Jesus loves them and wants to be their best friend, as
well as how to live a life devoted to Jesus. Specifically, small
group leaders or volunteers working with infants through age five
begin building a child's spiritual foundation.
Starting with the infant/toddler rooms, Christ's love for
children is demonstrated by providing a safe and clean environment
in which the children can sing and play.
Two- and three-year-olds begin learning Bible stories, as
well as the concepts of friendship and helping by observing the
actions of their small-group leader.
Four- and five-year-olds expand their Bible knowledge during
large group programs that include relevant Bible teaching, creative
drama and high-energy Promiseland music.
From kindergarten through fifth grade, children continue
to apply the Bible directly to their lives. They often participate
in role-plays and "What would you do?" discussions in
small groups.
Kindergartners and first graders are presented with an opportunity
to truly respond to beginning a relationship with Jesus. Children
in grades two through five focus on how to become followers of Christ
through more in-depth Bible lessons, relationships with others,
worship music (often times with a live band on stage), drama and
opportunities to participate in various church ministries.
You are invited to visit your child's room any weekend to see the
careful, creative attention Promiseland pays to the age of children.
Simply check in at any Promiseland Welcome Center for an entrance
tag or the day of your visit.
