New or visiting? Welcome! Learn more about our secure check-in process and what to expect.
Kids entering Grades 1-4 in the fall are invited to discover Biblical values through fun large-group worship and teaching, with time to connect with screened volunteer leaders and other kids their age through small-group activities during weekend services year-round* at FAC Deerfoot and FAC Southwest. *Please note Grades 1-4 will join their families in the main services for the long weekends in July, August, and September.
What are we learning about?
Summer Theme: Start the Party: Celebrate the good news!
Virtue: JOY—Choosing to celebrate what God is doing.
Overview: Choose joy! This may be a commonly used phrase you’ve heard, but what does it actually mean? Joy is more than being excited about the good things that happen to us. Joy is an attitude—a decision to trust God no matter what is going on in our lives. From the very beginning, God had a plan for the world. As we dive into the Bible, we’ll discover God’s plan for us and how God has been at work through it all. When we see and celebrate what God is doing, we can find true joy!
Summer Memory Verse:
“A cheerful heart makes you healthy. But a broken spirit dries you up.” Proverbs 17:22 (NIrV)
Summer Bonus Verse:
“Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful!” Philippians 4:4 (NIrV)
Grade School Bible Memory Program: Truth Trackers
Kids in Grades 1-4 are invited to dig deeper into the Bible and discover the truth in God’s Word. Here’s how to get started on this great adventure!
Here’s How it Works
Every weekend, there are Bible verses kids can memorize in DiscoveryLand! Kids earn “Truth Tokens” when:
- They say the memory verse out loud to their leader
- Complete the weekly devotional handouts
- Bring their Bible to church
What kids can do with those hard-earned Truth Tokens:
- Spend them in the “Truth Trackers” Tuck Shop that will open every 2 months.
- Donate them to the DiscoveryLand offering project (see below for details) – a small group leader will give $1 for every donated token!
- Spend your tokens on tickets at a special Pizza Party event.
So, grab your Bibles … and let’s find God’s truth together!
Giving Back
We believe it’s important for kids to practice offering a part of what we have back to God as a thank-you for all He’s given us! That’s why we have seasonally offering projects that kids can give towards that fund, sharing hope and practical support with other kids and families in our community and around the world.
