The aim of Young Explorers is a fun, safe environment for kids to explore God’s word. For our Bible verse time, we memorize one verse at a time as a group using hand motions. Little by little work our way through a longer passage and by the end of the semester, we can quote 10-15 verses! We work as a group so that no one gets ahead or is left behind, and no one is ever put on the spot if they don't feel comfortable reciting in front of other people.

During our Bible lessons, we all open the Bible and read it together. We really value having our children encounter the living and active Word of God, so the teacher reads the Bible aloud while the group follows along in their own Bibles. Then we stop along the way to discuss what it means. We’ve seen the kids in Young Explorers rise to the challenge and really get excited about deep spiritual truths.
