Philosophy of the Adventurer Program
The Adventurer program was created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as a child’s primary teachers. The program aims to strengthen the parent/child relationship and to further the child’s development in spiritual, physical, mental, and social areas. Through the Adventurer Program, the church, home, and school can work together with the parent to develop a mature, happy child.
The church’s greatest resource is our children; therefore, it is imperative that as a church we meet the challenge to provide a program for our children during their early, formative years. We want right habits, thoughts, motives, dispositions, and attitudes to be established. The Wise Man wrote,
“Bring up a child in the way he should go,and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Prov. 22:6 (NIV).
The Adventurer Club involves children in grades 1-4 and their parents. Parental involvement provides opportunities for parents to participate in the learning experience. The Adventurer program is designed to support parents in assisting children with the challenging task of developing fully as followers of Christ in today’s world.
