Cold Case Christianity (Forensics Investigation) - NOT Charter Funded

Grades K-8

$90 per semester (pre-pay)

Wednesdays only

(Camino Community Church)

Jeremiah 29:13 says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Children are inquisitive and the thing that we most want our children to have a desire to learn and understand is their faith in the LORD and a knowledge that He is real. Sometimes it’s difficult for even us adults to know how to articulate what we believe and why. In this class students will be taught how to investigate, make observations and come to clear conclusions by showing them HOW TO THINK rather than telling them WHAT TO THINK. “Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” - Matthew 22:37-40 This is a fun and simplified ‘Who-Done-It’ class, directing students to solve the case for Christianity. Activities will include biology projects, basic chemistry, decoding, matching, critical thinking, solving age-appropriate crimes and overall observation skills. Throughout this class students will be presented with a badge and tools that, as junior private detectives, they will need in order to test witnesses, find clues and examine evidence. As children learn these investigative skills it will in turn teach them how to tackle hard questions about their faith which they will inevitably be presented with as young believers in Christ. This will encourage confidence in sharing what they know with others. At the end of the course students will be presented with a Private Investigator Certificate. “Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” - Romans 1:19-20 It is my greatness desire to teach children to love God and to know Him, which is made possible through Him and by the evidence of His creation!

$90 per semester (pre-pay)

Wednesdays only

(Camino Community Church)

1 Peter 4:10 reads, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." In this world we are presented with the value of time and money at an early age. How we govern over these gifts is clear in the Bible. In this class as children learn how to tell time and grasp money concepts, using traditional mathematics and fun hands-on activities through role-playing, recreating parables and acting out realistic time & money scenarios. They will also learn God's word and what He says about it. There are over 2,350 verses about time and money which is a testament to how important it is. 1 Timothy 6:17 says, "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment". I'm so excited to help our students start their relationships with these two amazing resources in a way that they can become God's good stewards.

“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” - Mark 12:30 Loving God with all our everything includes our bodies. Sometimes it's easy to think that our bodies belong to us, however these are given to us as a gift to glorify God. “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” - Romans 12:1 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;” – 1 Corinthians 6:19 In this awesome physical education class students will learn how important it is to take good care of our bodies, to respect them, and keep them healthy. Students will get to play fun and exuberant activities designed to get their hearts pumping. They will learn proper exercises, including warm-ups, running, jumping, crawling, proper posture, stretching, balance and more. Another great aspect of this class is how to play together as a group and incorporate ‘good sportsmanship’, by following the rules, showing grace to others and learning tenacity in not giving up. “An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.” - 2 Timothy 2:5 Our strength comes from the LORD and he renews us. It is so important for children to learn to rely on Him and not to depend on our own strength by our own works of fitness. This class will encourage students to recognize that being alive in our bodies is an immense gift and to take each breath and to use each physical ability with gratitude.

Students will learn about rock formations, fossils, and how they can be understood as part of God's grand design. We’ll explore fun, hands-on activities that illustrate how sediment layers and rock formations could have been formed by a global flood, integrating scientific ideas with the Biblical story. Through engaging lessons and interactive projects, students will learn about the unique features of the earth and how they act as clear evidence of the amazing flood.
Zoology: Dive into the animal kingdom and see how God’s handiwork is evident in the diversity of life. We’ll study various animals and how their lives were impacted by the flood while living inside AND outside of the ark.
Archimedes’ Principle: This principle says that an object submerged in a fluid (like water) experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This is what we will dive into as we learn about how boats (especially the ark) float!

Join us to see how our faith and science beautifully intertwine as we uncover the mysteries of flood geology and the marvels of zoology and the ark!
