Did you know:
Activities shape a child's brain more than genetics.
Music activates the brain more than anything.
Nature and unstructured play are also extremely important.
Spoken words drop from 900 to 200 when a screen is present.
Praise for the community, fellowship, prayer and learning that happen on Sundays and throughout the week in our Discipleship Communities and Small Groups.
