When you arrive
Taught about Jesus
-
A safe, fun environment where children (newborn to preschool) build a solid foundation of faith through activities, music, and reading the Bible.
While attending Onward Preschool, kids will participate in classroom settings where they will learn memory verses, read the Bible, have a snack, and do activities and games that reinforce the teaching truth they are learning through that week’s lesson.
Contact the Preschool Team.

Kindergarten – 5th Graders
Onward Elementary is where Kindergarten-5th graders learn more about who God is, His character, and His rescue plan for the world.
While attending Onward Elementary, kids will participate in a large group environment designed to model corporate worship, prayer, and teaching. After large group teaching, the kids will go to small groups with same-age peers, where they will use activities and discussion questions to reinforce the lesson. They will learn about a biblical character trait each month that has a corresponding definition and memory verse. Each week they will go over a different bible passage that illustrates that character trait.

Safe & Secure
The safety and security of your kids is very important to us. Staff and volunteers must pass background and reference checks, complete child abuse awareness training, and be a known individual within our church body.
No adult is allowed to work alone in any setting with a minor. We utilize volunteer and professional security personnel, as well as security cameras throughout our kid’s areas.
