Mini-Courses

Students experience the early church through the story of Cleon, a slave who runs away from his master and is befriended by a Christian family. Parallels are drawn to the Scriptures and the class builds a model of Caesarean that they can share with other children and parents at the end. Seven sessions for fourth to sixth graders. This program can be used as a VBS curriculum, summer program, church camp or integrated into Sunday School.
