"But, Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
Luke 18:16
The words of Jesus remind us of the importance of children to us. At The Salvation Army, we believe in opportunities for the entire family to grow closer to Christ. For the youngest members of the family, we have specialized programs that provide children with the opportunity to have fun and invest in their character development at the same time. These programs have been an integral part in the development of youth for many years.
Boys Adventure Corps - Tuesdays 5:00 to 6:30 PM
The Boys Adventure Corps program focuses on boys grade 1-7. This program works to develop self-esteem and basic life skills. Each week, the boys participate in activities geared at helping them to better understand themselves, their community, and their relationship with Christ.
Sunbeams - Tuesdays 5:00 - 6:30 PM
The Sunbeam program is for girls grades 1-5. The program seeks to build community while also teaching the girls self-esteem and other valuable character building skills. The program focus is best reflected in its motto-‘Do Right.'
Girl Guards - Tuesdays 5:00 - 6:30 PM
The Girl Guard program picks up where Sunbeams leaves off. Girl Guards are grades 6-12. This program focuses more on the issues facing teenage girls in our society today with an emphasis on building self-confidence.
Moonbeams - Tuesdays 5:00 - 6:30 PM
The Moonbeam program is for boys and girls grades Pre-K to K. The program provides preschoolers with an opportunity for basic creative play in a Christian environment while also teaching basic social skills for the youngest of our community.
Supper Club - Tuesdays 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Before each of our Youth Activity Nights, we invite the program participants to share in a family style dinner. This program aims to provide a balanced meal in a loving environment to children who might otherwise not receive one.
