Welcome to Power Express!

The children's Sunday School program is a high voltage experience to nurture our young children in the faith.

In a nutshell, it is a way to teach major Bible stories and concepts through a kid friendly multimedia format.  Essentially, one story is taught for eight weeks as the children rotate to different workshops such as art, music, drama, storytelling, computers, etc.

Based upon Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, the Power Express uses all seven ways children learn -

  1. language
  2. logic
  3. space
  4. body movement
  5. music
  6. interpersonal/relational activity
  7. intrapersonal or introspective actions

Hear, See, and Live Your Belief in God. The new curriculum is an exciting new approach to Sunday School. Short video segments bring faith-filled, high-energy excitement to your children. Characters who model B.I.G. (Belief in God) behavior, travel segments, and current contemporary Christian music that kids can enjoy in class and at home are provided. Your tweens will discover how to deal with the difficult situations they face and live their belief in God daily.
