     Promiseland is Sunday School for children, preschool through grade 5.  It is a place where creative Bible teaching engages children through the use of the arts.  Contemporary music helps them remember biblical truths.  Adults are intentional about building strong relationships with children.  And, children cross the line of faith and establish a lifelong relationship with Christ.

    It is a place where children:
    • feel welcomed, valued, and cared for while they learn who Jesus is,
    • learn  how to follow Him, and
    • learn how basic bible truths can help them make the right choices now and throughout their lives.

  • LOGOS   ( 6 Articles )

    The Word for Kids

    Kindergarten through 5th Grade that celebrates:
    Bible Time

    • We nurture biblically informed discipleship
    • We nurture a love for the Scriptures.
    • We nurture a desire to become Fully Devoted Followers of Christ.
    • We memorize Books of the Bible and Scripture.
    • We practice locating Scripture in the Bible.

    Music Time

    • The Ministry of Music becomes a way of expressing Praise, Thanksgiving and Adoration of God.

    Family Time

    • The Goal of Family Time is to provide a joyous, intergenerational celebration of personhood over a shared meal as we experience being the family of God.
    • Children are assigned to tables along with one or two adults who act as ‘table parents.’  The group around the table becomes a family as they share meals together.  Food is served family style.  Conversation is purposeful.

     

    The #1 Rule of Logos:

    Everyone is to treat everyone else as a child of God.  No one has the right to treat anyone else as if they do not matter.
