Bible Boot Camp is here!!! Through the end of the school year, we are teaching boys and girls to become soldiers in the Army of the Lord. We’re learning how to dress like Christian soldiers, putting on the full armor of God. We’re learning who our leader, Christ Jesus, is, and we’re training to use our swords… the Sword of the Spirit – the Word of God, that is. (See Ephesians 6)
We’re having a blast finding out what God’s mission for us really is! AND participants have the opportunity to earn points for demonstrating various skills from their Christian soldier boot camp training.
We hope you’ll join us in the Education Building Worship Center (upstairs) on Wednesdays at 6:30.
Below, you’ll find the memory work assignments for Bible Boot Camp:
