A specific discipleship process is in place to help our Elementary children as they grow spiritually in LightQuest Ministries. In order for our kids to become mature believers in Christ they must understand the truths and promises of God.. Kids are encouraged to make real commitments to God and to follow this step with baptism. This discipleship process takes children a step deeper and shows them how God can transform them and help them to become "Spiritual Champions." In depth spiritual training covering important faith topics are outlined for each age group.
DEEP ZONE CLASSES

There are also special follow up activities planned for all Cross Training graduates..
A couple of times each year we have a special service called "Surge Xtreme." We encourage parents to come and worship with their children and enjoy this fun experience together. At Surge Xtreme you will experience drama, singing and a lesson that speaks to your entire family.Each time we will focus on values and faith concepts that your child will be learning so you can reinforce these at home.
