We look at passages and use PowerPoint shows to highlight and review each part of the story.  Our goal is to give students the consistent flow of how God brought salvation to mankind so that students gain greater knowledge and confidence in God's word.

We start by joining with the High School students for a time of worship, and then we break off into our own group to apply what God teaches us about who He has made us to be.  We learn through discussion, object lessons, and creative teaching sessions.
