EXPLORERS
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. Matthew 18:2-4
Jesus said to welcome and pursue Him like children, whom He loves! We offer one program per age group to join busy households in spiritual education, and to welcome new children and families to faith. Our Christ-centered, chronological Bible study curriculum for kids is called The Gospel Project.
