Kindergarten through fifth grade children participate in L.E.A.P. (Learning and Exploring At Pullen), an innovative, educationally sound program that invites children to engage with lessons using various learning approaches/styles.

Children study the same theme or story for four or five weeks. Each Sunday they experience that story or theme through a different lesson, or "workshop." Workshops include drama, storytelling, cooking, art, music, and games (the creative possibilities are endless). This model offers many benefits for the the children. Several weeks are spent learning and internalizing biblical stories and concepts. It affords continuity for children who aren't able to attend every Sunday. The various workshops, utilizing multiple styles, make it fun and appealing to many different children, while engaging all five senses and the total spirit of the child.

All kindergarteners through fifth graders should be picked up at 10:45 a.m. in their classrooms by their parents or guardians. Kindergarten, first grade and second grade children are invited to participate in Children's Worship during the 11:00 a.m. worship hour. Third, fourth and fifth grade children participate in worship with their families (see Worship Hour for Children).
