Early Childhood Curriculum: Brite
Brite is a Bible-centered discipleship-focused curriculum. It's grounded in scripture, and whether from the old testament or new testament each lesson points to Jesus.
Our mission on Sunday mornings is to help every child feel like they BELONG to God and His kingdom, BELIEVE in Jesus as our Savior and BECOME like Him by walking in His Ways.
Look for resources in the classroom to help you talk to your child about what they learn in class each week.

Our nursery classes provide a safe and comforting environment where babies and toddlers are cared for while beginning to learn about God's love. Through simple, age-appropriate Bible stories, songs and activties, children are introduced to foundational truths from God's Word. Worship is incorporated in ways that encourage little ones to joyfully praise the Lord. One and two year olds also enjoy snack time, free play, and get to visit the indoor playground. Our goal is to help each child feel secure, valued and loved as they experience God's care through nurturing leaders and volunteers.

Aimee Nguyen - Preschool Coordinator - anguyen@cccolumbus.org
Our preschool classes provide a nurturing environment where children learn about God's love through engaging Bible stories. Each lesson is reinforced with hands-on activities, games and interactive experiences that help bring the Biblical truths to life. Children participate in joyful worship, learn to pray together and alone, and develop a personal understanding of talking with God. Weekly Bible verse memorization helps build a strong spiritual foundation while encouraging children to hide God's Word in their hearts. Through these experiences, children grow in faith, character, and their relationship with Jesus.
