Our Bible Verse
Proverbs 22:6 - “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” |

Our Strategy
Our strategy is to combine the two primary influences that impact a child’s life, the family and the church. We use the colors Yellow to represent the light of the church and Blue to represent the love of the family. Together they make Green, which connects parents and leaders with the same end goals. We are a parent-driven, church supported ministry. (These colors comprise the "Compass Kids" Logo) |
