Babies and Toddlers, will experience a safe, clean environment in which they can play and experience lots of loving care provided by our committed volunteers. Children ages 2 through 4 will experience what our curriculum “First Look” teaches:
ABOUT GOD
God is the one and only true God, yet He exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, so everything belongs to Him and is under His control. God is holy, so He is righteous, majestic, and loving. God is all-knowing and purposeful, so He's at work to bring about His will. No person, thing, or idea compares to God.
ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES
God reveals Himself to us through the Bible, and it is 100% accurate, reliable, and authoritative.
ABOUT PEOPLE
People are made in God's image and for His pleasure. But everybody falls short of God's intention, or ideal, for people. In other words, everyone has sinned. As a result, we are all separated from Him, even though He wants an intimate relationship with each of us.
ABOUT SALVATION
That's why Jesus - God's Son - came and lived on this earth, died, and rose again. God offers His free gift of salvation to all who believe in Jesus and accept Him as Savior - the only way to be forgiven and reconciled to God. Anyone who accepts this gift is adopted as a son or daughter into God's family and will live with Him forever in heaven.
BASIC TRUTHS GOD MADE ME … GOD LOVES ME … JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER
