EIII Ministry
EIII Childcare
Enlightenment
Enlightenment involves providing greater knowledge and understanding about Jesus Christ through reading, studying, and discussing scripture. For young children, this is effectively achieved by sharing Bible stories in a matter understood by children.
Enrichment
In addition to nurturing their spiritual maturity, there is a desire to ensure that students are well prepared for their educational studies. By engaging in repetitive activity using picture flashcards and online self-study in core subjects, students are able to improve their level of skill in the content areas that determine their success in school.
Encouragement
Participatory activities allows children to use multiple learning styles and their creative gifts as well as practice motor skills as they engage in fun activities to pass the time while parents are participating in ministry activities. Songs, board games, and group games offer many avenues to encourage children while providing an outlet for excess energy and a means for improving learning
