BIBLE ZONE / BIBLE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN
The goal of the Christian Education Department at Cornerstone is to teach the Word of God to children between the ages of three and thirteen. CBF teachers aim to make their teaching practical and personal so that the word of God becomes part of their lives and so that the children become true followers of Christ.
To this end, we attempt to use a variety of teaching methods so that each child will be reached and taught. The application of the Word of God is an important part of each week's lesson at all levels. We want the children to apply each lesson taught during the week so that it becomes a part of their lives. Every teacher at Cornerstone has been enrolled in "Walk Thru The Bible's Teach for Life Change" certification program in order to teach them to teach with effectiveness.
Bible zone is Directed by Noel and Latoya Pearman along with Elaine Frick and Wanda Gibson. This ministry is under Youth Pastor, Joshua Samuels.
