Kids’ Journey to the Table, is a four-week class designed for elementary aged children 7-11 years old and their parent(s). Designed to create intentional space for faith conversations at home while providing a clear framework for understanding the gospel, a personal relationship with God, the meaning of church membership, the significance of the Lord’s Supper, and the vows of membership.  

This class also helps kids build meaningful connections with our church Elders, who walk alongside them when they’re ready to take the step of becoming communing members. 

The material and at home Think It Through lessons are geared toward kids in 2nd through 5th grades.  Because we desire to equip you as the parent to be the primary spiritual leader in the life of your child, at least one parent must accompany the child to each class, and we ask that all who register attend all four classes.

About the Movie
Jesus Revolution tells the true story of the 1970s so-called Jesus Movement, focusing on young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney), charismatic hippie preacher Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer), as they spark a spiritual awakening by bringing counterculture hippies into Smith's struggling church in Southern California, blending evangelical Christianity with the era's youth culture. The plot follows Laurie's journey from a rebellious teen to a youth minister, Frisbee's electrifying evangelism, and Smith's transformation from a traditional pastor to a leader of a massive revival, culminating in a nationwide spiritual phenomenon.
