We will have more RES club information coming out soon that will occur on Wednesdays, but here is a FREE opportunity to participate in a Tuesday club.

IGNITE 3:16 is a free club for 3rd-5th grade elementary students hosted by Church on Main in Snellville, GA. Trained volunteers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes or anywhere children can easily and safely meet with their parent or guardian's permission.

Each week children enjoy elements like Gospel time, a Bible story, songs, memory games, as well as other activities focused on the lesson's theme.

Every club includes strong discipleship training to build character and strengthen moral and spiritual growth. IGNITE 3:16 understands the importance of and encourages daily prayer time, family involvement, and strong peer to peer relationships.

This club begins on September 10th from 2:45pm-4:15pm and ends Tuesday, March 25th. Register your child here!

We are excited to tell you that we will be using PurposeFull People this year, a program that teaches skills to help students be successful in school and in life. We believe that students should have safe, predictable places to learn where they feel included. Students should have healthy and helpful connections with teachers and classmates. They should also experience learning that will help them tackle challenges inside and outside of school.

This month, we focus on Kindness! Take a look at our our Kindness Kickoff newsletter here.
