Kindergarten - 5th Grade

During Bible class hour our children are learning to understand the Bible not as a collection of stories, but one unified story – God’s story of redemption. Over a three year span, our children will use LifeWays The Gospel Project curriculum to journey through the entire Bible.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)

Taking place during the summer, Elmwood hosts a week-long VBS open to any child who will be in preschool – 5th grade the upcoming school year. Each evening will be filled with a time of singing, Bible stories, games, crafts, and snacks. Our Elmwood volunteers work hard to make sure that each night of VBS is fun for everyone, all while teaching your children more about God and His love for them.
