Basics and Basics Jr.
Kindergarten-1st Grade
Basics Jr focuses on explaining the “One Big Story” of the Bible: the story of how God loves his children and comes to rescue them. We use the Jesus Storybook Bible to take kids through the major stories of the Old and New Testament. Kids are placed into consistent small groups with two small group leaders who will take them through three rotation stations: games, gathering, and groups.
Through at-home memory verses, fun activities in large and small groups, and the stories within the award-winning Jesus Storybook Bible, your children will discover that Jesus loves them and that he is the Great Rescuer!
2nd-5th Grade
Our purpose is to see Basics clubbers grounded in the basics of the Christian faith. We do this through large group and small group Bible studies, relationships with their college and high school student leaders, Bible memorization, and Scripture reading. This high energy club is a great chance for kids to begin studying theology and ask questions!
Kids have the opportunity to earn awards and participate in special reward trips to places like the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and Crazy Pinz in Fort Wayne. Reward trips are earned by memorizing a weekly Bible verse and completing at-home Bible readings. Our small group Bible studies, written by a team from UCC, go along with the New City Catechism exploring the meaning of each doctrinal point in depth.
