“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
Our mission at Faith Quest is to grow disciples! We are on a journey together to grow in faith and understanding of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This journey is a life-long quest that begins right here. In our Faith Quest, we are seeking out a growing, enriching, and saving relationship with Jesus. Join us!
We offer three exciting Sunday morning Faith Quest programs for children from three years old through sixth grade. Many dedicated volunteer Faith Quest teachers, helpers, and praise leaders help the children become disciples of Jesus and learn how to act on their faith in their daily lives. Faith Quest is offered during the 9:00 and 10:30 AM worship hours.
We offer three independent Faith Quest programs, each designed for a specific age group: (1) Son Seekers is for 
preschoolers; (2) Bible TREK is for children in Kindergarten through fourth grade; and (3) CrossRoads is for fifthand sixth graders.
Faith Quest is the beginning of a lifelong journey of Christian discipleship and growth. We hope the whole family will join the quest and get involved in learning about God’s love, no matter what the age. Parents are encouraged to attend a Bible study while their children are in Faith Quest, and worship together as a family before or after their Christian-education time. Living Lord offers many adult education opportunities, on Sunday morning and throughout the week.
Preschoolers are at the beginning of their faith journey, just meeting the Sonshine of their lives, Jesus. Our goals are to introduce these little Seekers to our wonderful and loving God through an active, yet consistent, warm, and encouraging setting. Each Sunday, our Seekers (ages 3-5 years) gather in the Son Seekers classroom for their very own program. Each engaging session includes fun, Bible-centered activities, music, and crafts
Bible TREK(Teaching, Reaching, and Engaging Kids in God’s Word) is for Kindergartners through fourth graders. Our Trekkers are very active people who are actively growing in their faith through dynamic learning methods that let them move and interact as they explore what it means to be a person of faith.
This program is based on the Workshop Rotation Model. Bible TREK leaders teach major Bible stories and concepts through kid-friendly, hands-on, multimedia Workshops. Bible Trekkers travel through the Bible one story or
lesson at a time, focusing on each lesson for up to five weeks. As the Trekkers rotate through our Workshops from week to week, they learn about God in dynamic and creative ways using a variety of media including computers, drama, movies, storytelling, arts and crafts, and games. Each Round, or unit, has a memory verse to go along with its theme. The Trekkers open their Bibles every week and learn where and when each story takes place.
The Bible Trekkers follow a weekly rotation schedule. They know which Workshop to go to each week by the Workshop name and their grade color: Kindergarten is Green; First Grade is Red; Second Grade is Purple; Third Grade is Pink; and Fourth Grade is Yellow. Bible TREK Greeters and Shepherds also help direct the children and their parents each week.
for that Round (ex: Arts & Crafts, Drama/Storytelling, or Movies). The Workshop Leader teaches the same lesson for the wholeRound, with age-appropriate adjustments each week (for different grade levels). The Workshop Leader is the main teacher, and coordinates with the Shepherds and Helpers. Workshop Leaders have lots of flexibility to teach the lessons creatively. They also receive support from the Bible TREK curriculum developers. 
CrossRoads (Fifth and Sixth Grade)This exciting program for fifth and sixth graders is designed specifically for this “tween” age group. These children are at a crossroads in their lives as they balance on the edge of adolescence, getting ready to leave childhood behind. Their quest is to find and follow a path of faith, asking questions and learning about life along the way, as they begin to figure out who they are and who they want to be as faithful Christians.
Consistent teacher-mentors use creative and interactive methods to guide the students through study topics that are relevant to their age as they develop their relationship with
Jesus on a deeper level. CrossRoads helps prepare these children for Confirmation in seventh and eighth grade. As with our other Faith Quest programs, parents sign their children in and out each week.
