Time to dive in deeper! Our upper elementary chapel curriculum is designed to engage your elementary or middle school student’s hearts and minds as they learn foundational truths about God, themselves, and the wonderful purpose He created them for. What children believe is important – it shapes who they are and the choices they make. But it’s growing more difficult for them to understand what is true, as they are inundated with competing messages about truth in every song, show, book and game that offer their own version of morality, identity and faith. This course is designed to equip your student with the ability to understand complex and competing ideas so they can stand securely in the truth.
*Required Supplies: Students need to bring their student workbook (provided) to each class as well as a personal bible.
