 3^rd/4^th grade and 5^th/6^th grade - answers questions kidz are asking about life and the Bible today as well as teaching them how to find the answers themselves. Our desire is to “prepare to give to give an answer for the Hope that lies within them” so that they can “go into all the all the world and make disciples”. High energy worship happens during this time along with some time to hang out and play in the game room.
