 Mission
The purpose of the Early Learning Program is to support the home and extend the ministry of the church by providing biblically based, age-appropriate education for preschoolers.

The Early Learning Program will seek to provide opportunities for the children enrolled in the program to grow spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially by providing developmentally appropriate activities, guidance, ministry, and outreach to them, and to the members of their families.
