252 Avenue will take a short summer break...But we will be back in September in the new building! Can't wait to see you there!!
This is a great way to introduce everyone around you to a fun and exciting place where kids can't wait to go to CHURCH! Bring your friends, neighbors and family! 252 Avenue is the 1st Sunday night of every month @ 7:00 in the Family Life Center.
What is 252 Avenue?
A place where kids bring their parents to learn! In Deuteronomy 6 Moses gives parents instruction that we take to heart. He tells us that it is the parent’s responsibility to teach their children what God commands.
We believe that what happens at home is more important that what happens at church so 252 Avenue is a catalyst to enlist the family and join together as a team to give kids the best opportunity to know and grow in Jesus Christ. Our mission is: Shaping a child’s relationship with God, by strengthening the relationship with their parents.
How does this help parent’s?
Parent’s feel the need to teach their kids what’s important. We want to partner with what you are already trying to do. 252 Avenue is Virtue driven. We have 36 virtues that rotate on a 3 year cycle. We focus on 1 virtue for a month at a time and are teaching the same virtue for 252 Avenue and in the depot all month long.
Why should my family come to 252 Avenue?
The question should be, “Why shouldn't my family participate in 252 Avenue?” If you want your child to know Jesus and Grow in their relationship with Him, if you want to have a blast together as a family and enjoy yourselves like you won’t believe then you need to make the effort to come laugh and learn together at 252 Avenue.
When is 252 Avenue?
252 Avenue meets the 1st Sunday night of every month at 7:00 PM in the Family Life Center. |
