Core Values 

The values that the AdventureLand teams use in their dedicated outreach and ministry to children include:

    adventure-landcolorstudie-2.jpgLeading Children to Christ: through modeling & teaching

    Emotional and Physical Safety:
in all aspects of ministry

    Teaching Biblical Truth:
not just stories, but truths they can count on

    Child-Targeted Teaching:
programs that are age appropriate

    and incorporate diverse learning styles

    Intentional Shepherding:
where kids know that they are valued

    Relevancy and Fun:
lessons they won’t forget that they can take  home & use this week and next

    We realize that teaching is a partnership with our parents and strive to support their efforts in leading their children to a life-long relationship with Christ.  You may find the following resources helpful in these efforts: www.group.comwww.christiananswers.comwww.childrensministry.com , www.christianbest.comwww.family.org

What do We Teach?
  
Our curriculum, published by Group Publishing, is called "FaithWeaver."  Each class follows the same Bible topic, but with age appropriate application. Summer and Fall seasons focus on the Old Testament.  Winter and Spring  seasons draw from the New Testament.

How do we ‘creatively teach the Father’s foundation with fun’?

We use the R.E.A.L. learning approach in our classrooms. 

R - Relational
: because learner-to-learner talk involves everyone, enhances understanding, and builds Christian friendships. Children work in small groups to explore their understanding at a personal level.

E - Experiential: because learning by doing and using multiple senses increases learning and retention tenfold. You'll find water tables, painting, puppetry, music, parachutes, drama and more.

A - Applicable: because connecting God's word to the learner's real world moves learning beyond information to transformation. You child should be able to answer "so what?" when they leave their class time.

L - Learner-Based: because addressing how learners learn best focuses not on how much is taught, but on what is learned. Our teachers strive to use words appropriate to their specific age level. Our curriculum provides multiple options to reach different styles of learning.
