Cadets

"Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." -- Luke 2:52

A program for boys, third through eighth grades, this group meets on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. The goal of Cadets is to help boys to grow spiritually in all areas of life (devotional, mental, physical, and social). Cadets encourages studying the Bible as the guide to life. Learning the skills of an outdoorsman builds a boy's character, and developing a boy's understanding of his place in God's world helps him to be a faithful steward.

GEMS "Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior"

"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." -- Micah 6:8

A program for girls, third through eighth grades, this group meets on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. The goal of GEMS is to help bring girls into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. To this end, girls participate in team building, learn how to apply the Bible to their lives, participate in service projects that make a difference in others' lives, and find answers to challenges that girls face today.
