Elementary (1-5)
Approaches (Curriculum, methods, concepts)
Service is integrated into the elementary experience through Christ-centered social-emotional learning, character trait lessons, and daily application of biblical principles. Students learn that leadership begins with humility, empathy, and a willingness to meet the needs of others.
Experiences (Highlights, special events)
Students regularly participate in serve days, partnering with local ministries, nonprofits, and community organizations such as food banks, nursing homes, and clothing drives. Character trait chapels and public recognition for service highlight the value of leading by example.
Enrichment Opportunities (Extracurriculars, co-curriculars, programs, groups)
The Peer Ministry Program (grades 3–5) offers students hands-on leadership roles in events like Pastor Appreciation, hosting Wheat Cafe, and preparing gifts for local seniors. Opportunities to serve also come through chapel leadership, reading buddy mentoring, and student-led prayer.
Progress (Goals, achievements, readiness)
By the end of elementary, students demonstrate confidence in leading through service, actively contribute to community initiatives, and understand the connection between Christ’s example and their own actions.
