Leader Darla Mosher notes that children come to the program from a variety of home situations. The church also has a ministry with youth, led by Darla s husband Chuck Mosher. Special lesson plans for the program are developed in a cooperative effort by the church pastors themselves.
Financial support is given by several other congregations.
In just a few months, the ministry had grown beyond its sponsors wildest dreams. Now over one-third of the school s students, a majority of whom have no church home, are participating in the program s five classes. The program leaders are hopeful that this ministry will encourage families to become part of a wider circle of faith. The church also runs a summer day camps for more than 150 children that includes a two-week VBS, trips, and other activities. Monique Bacon is the director of the summer day camp program.
