JOURNEY LAND
Journey Land is a rotational-based Bible class program that uses different learning styles to teach the Bible stories. Your child will rotate to a different workshop each week. These workshops include telling the Bible lesson creatively in the Storytelling Workshop; using large motor skills in the Game Workshop, and singing Bible verses set to song in the Music Workshop. The Geography Workshop concentrates on maps, timelines and the culture surrounding God’s people. The Theatre Workshop gives children a chance to step into the shoes of Bible characters by re-enacting Bible stories; the Art Workshop is a dedicated space to create projects, cook, or participate in an experiment. The Puppet Workshop applies Bible lessons while having lots of fun. All the workshops are designed to reinforce biblical principles.
We intentionally keep our Bible class groupings small. This allows the adults in each room to know your children by name and be involved in their spiritual development.
