The Bible is the “History Book of the Universe”, wherein the God of Creation reveals Himself and His thoughts toward mankind. Our worldview is based solely on Bible – the inerrant, cohesive, inspired Word of God. We study our way through the 7 C’s of History, exploring the literal days of Creation, mankind’s fall into a state of sin, the effects of the global flood of Noah’s day, the dispersion of people groups at the Tower of Babel, the birth of Christ our Savior – God in the flesh, the sacrifice of Christ on the cross to redeem us from our lost and sinful state, and ultimately – His plan to make all things new (Rev. 21:5).
Creation Club begins in June and runs through the end of August, about 11 weeks duration.
It is for grades K-6. We also have a Preschool Creation Club for ages 3-5. We meet at 7 PM on Wednesdays in the gym. We begin with lesson time, then have snack time and conclude with game/craft time.
We often have special guest speakers:

– Karl Priest – Insects Bug Evolution
– Water Night with the Ripley VFD and
more.
