APL
Goals |
The Adventure to
the Promised Land (APL) program is an exciting and exceptional
method of Christian Education. A Bible-centered Church School
program that celebrates children's different learning styles. It
is designed for children in grades 1-5 who attend
the 9:30 educational hour. Bible themes are taught for 3 weeks,
in weekly workshop rotations, focusing on a different aspect
of the story each week, concluding with a 4th week of worship
in the Chapel.
NEW APL
Sunday Morning Check-In!
Our children
in Grades 1-4 are as excited as we are about our new registration
check-in system in the Kirk Hall kiosk area—just look for
the large “Registration” sign! The 9:30 APL children
now begin/end their classes in Kirk Hall.Parents: Remember that
your children must now be picked up in Kirk Hall at 10:30.The new
computerized registration method enables easy check-in before joining
the Kirk Hall opening devotions, and it allows for more accurate
student and attendance data. It’s also more visible for new
families coming into our church, as it can be seen from the Welcome
Center area. |
