"Let the little children come to me..." We take these words of Jesus
seriously at C.A.B.C. That is why we have age-graded classes for all children
and youth, beginning in our nursery. Our classes are as follows:
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT
|
Nursery
(for infants and toddlers) |
|
Preschool and Kindergarten |
|
First -
Third Grade Class |
|
Fourth -
Fifth Grade Class |
YOUTH
DEPARTMENT
|
Middle
School (Grades 6-8) |
|
Senior
High (Grades 9-12) |
* All of our
children's classes study the same Bible story. This way, families are able to
talk about the lessons of the day, whatever age their children might be. Out
youth follow an intensive Bible study plan that will allow them to have covered
most of the Bible during their time in out youth ministry. *
