Kingdom Kids.......... (Back to top)
The primary and Early Education department of Lighthouse Full Life Center Church is generally open for all scheduled services. Each of the three class rooms are divided age appropriately and staffed by individuals who have met guidelines to include; active participation in worship services and bible study, profession of salvation and passion for teaching our early learners.
Classroom 1
Noah's Ark
Ages 8 weeks-3yrs.
This space is designed for our early learners. With adequate crawl space and age appropriate toys, these babies are nurtured into a tender relationship with Jesus Christ. Developmental learning opportunities are met with visually stimulating play that utilizes fine and gross motor skills.
Each child MUST be signed in and picked up by a parent or guardian. The nursery is available during any scheduled service time. Parents are asked to pick up their children immediately following service.
Classroom 2 and 3
Children of the Light
Ages 4-7
This interactive group channels the energy and excitement of academically and socially, to structured opportunities for growth and development. Balancing cutting edge biblical curriculum and relevant practical ideas, this hands on classroom is an exciting group to watch.
Virtue and Valor University.......... (Back to top)
Peer pressure is a strong influence in the lives of our children as they are faced with many decisions. Our desire is that the voice of Lord, through the Word of God, becomes a strong variable in those choices. Reinforcing a healthy relationship with Christ, their parents and peers, these classes search the scriptures to identify character, leadership and concepts that are characteristic of those that desire to be led by Christ.
Classroom 4
Lighthouse All Stars
Ages 8-11 Boys
This classroom takes place in a locker room setting and emphasizes the value of teamwork, cooperation, appropriate conflict resolution and positive associations. As a team, they proclaim a pledge of growing into a Godly young man, being responsible for actions and choices. These young men are encouraged to live out this pledge in their family with their parents and siblings, in their school with their peers and teachers and in their community. Their bible curriculum consist of a animated walk through the word identifying key concepts, scriptures and individuals.
Classroom 5
Lighthouse Princess’s
Ages 8-11 Girls
Taking the dainty and making it divine, this classroom searches the scripture to find God’s truth as they grow into the purposed lady as God designed her. Supporting their uniqueness as wonderfully created individuals, they look for God’s answer to everyday questions. A work in progress, and using the scripture as a guide, these ladies transform their classroom by contrasting the world’s idea of beauty to what they identify as beautiful (inside and out).
Classroom 6
Lighthouse Ballers
Ages 12-14
This group challenges the world's concept of being a “baller”. The name was chosen by the youth who insisted they understood what a “baller” would actually be in the kingdom of God. While the youth suggest their peers are throwing caution to the wind as they strive to gain popularity and prosperity to achieve “baller” status, they set out to redefine this term and own the status according to a different standard. This classroom’s definition evolved to describe a “baller” as someone who has a relationship with Christ and who is walking according to the word of God. Conversely, they identified a “worldly baller” as someone who ignored God’s command and pursued the wealth of this world at all cost. Convinced that they could reach their peers with the Word of God, this group uses a variety of hands on and discussion style meetings to explore biblical truths. While facilitated by adult leaders, and guided by a curriculum, this group is invited to “keep it real” and make Godly choices regarding tough daily dilemmas.
Classroom 7
Youth in Action
Ages 15-17
This group is walking out the word that they have learned previously. Ideally, using each prior classroom experience as a stepping stone, this group should have a powerful understanding of who they were created to be in Christ, a general understanding of Old and New Testament and reference scriptures that can help them contemplate life choices. Focusing on Practical application and clarifying any questions these young adults may have, they are asked to apply the word, understand the plan of salvation and know key scriptures that they can share.
In addition to classroom activities, these youth produce and create a youth talk show called Holla' Back!
College Ministry ..........(Back to top)
Ideally, this outreach effort was designed for both members of Lighthouse as well as college students who are away from home. College students are invited to attend regularly scheduled ministry services where they are fed the meat of the word. Afterwards, our hospitality ministry provides hot, home cooked meals. If neccesary, the transportation ministry coordinates pick up and drop off times to be sure the students travel safely to and from campus. Outside of regularly schedule services, the Full Life Education Coach assist with campus needs and referrals including career choices, financial aid referrals and suggestions for academic success. As appropriate, the single or married ministry provides opportunities for fellowship. Annual campus ministry events include “House Party”, “ Battle of the Worship Bands” and “Faith Olympics”. |
