You took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother’s milk!
There’s nothing like the written Word of God
for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
—2 Timothy 3:15
J.O.Y. Zone—offered to children who are three years old through fifth grade—is a place where friendships are developed, Bible stories are learned and where kids connect God to their lives.
