SEASON 2 - PRESCHOOL

Train up a child in the way they should go; even when they are old, they will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6


Often, we wait to start discipling our kids until they are older and can "comprehend” more. However, you’d be surprised how much a three-year-old can understand about Jesus! This season is all about teaching your kids the basics: who God is, who Jesus is,
what the Bible is, etc. As you begin to share Bible stories with your child, these basic truths will begin to lay a theological foundation for years to come.



                    Celebrations: We believe that there are significant moments in your child’s faith journey that deserve special recognition and celebration.
                    We don’t want to simply pass over what God is doing in their life. We want to make a big deal of these moments so that your child will remember
                    it for the rest of their lives.


                    Ministries: CLCC provides multiple opportunities to help you and your child in your spiritual formation.


                    Parenting Ideas: Each season has its own joys and challenges. We want to provide you with ideas to help your kids grow their faith during
                    this season of life.
