Who We Are
Our church set out to implement the Children’s Rotation Model
by 2008. Once children leave the nursery they are ready
to explore the bible and concepts of Jesus teaching and
deserve to learn it in a creative way. After careful
research and visiting other churches we prayerfully
implemented the WORM. This is how the rotation model
works.
It
teaches:
major Bible stories and concepts through kid-friendly
multimedia workshops: an Art workshop, Drama, Music,
Games, A-V, Puppets, Storytelling, Computers, and any
other educational media you can get your hands on. Teach
the same Bible story in all of the workshops for four or
five weeks rotating the kids to a different workshop
each week.
Here's why it works: The Workshop Rotation Model concentrates on the major
stories of the Bible over and over again. It eschews the
popular but educationally unsound lectionary idea of
changing the story each week. The model's philosophy
recognizes that kids not only love repetition, but they
need it to develop a lasting memory and understanding of
content. The multi-intelligences (creative methods)
approach in the model isn't a fad or merely
kid-friendly, it is calculated to take advantage of our
student's God-given thirst for multi-modal learning.
As the Rotation Model moves into the future, we will strive to
remember the original motivation and core of the design:
·
Being willing to risk change for the sake of our children, and
belief in the message.
·
Being adamant about creating a program that is attractive,
practical and gets results!
·
Exploring new ways of resourcing each other that facilitate
the sharing of grassroots gifts and ideas.
Bring
your child and join us as we creatively explore the
wonderful world God has given us and His teachings.
