a variety of character building programs for youth.
Below is a description of the programs for every age
group.

personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to find
ways to serve God through The Salvation Army.

after school program that meets every Wednesday at

tutoring and the use of our computer lab, and snacks
for the children. All kids in grades 1-5 have
a great time and choose what they would like to do!

Explorers
Sunbeams and
Explorers are for boys and girls in grades 1-5.
They meet every Wednesday following Kidz Klub from

emphasis. Children earn badges, do activities,
take exciting field trips and perform service
projects for the community.

great way to meet new friends and have fun!
