HeartGuard

Exodus 20:13

Weekly verse for July 25

"You shall not murder."

Welcome!

At Four Oaks, we desire to equip our children with an understanding of the truths of God's Word, the grace of the Gospel, and the character of God, so that they might worship the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

The Righteous Shall Live By Faith

Our summer theme is The Righteous Shall Live By Faith, and we will be focusing our scripture memory on the 10 commandments. Each Heartguard verse comes from two passages of scripture--Exodus 20:2-5a, 7-8, 12-17 and James 2:10 and can be found in the bulletin and on the front page of the website.

We trust that these verses will provide wonderful opportunities for families to memorize the God's Word together and meditate upon key Biblical truths related to the perfections of God and his heart for his people. Also, feel free to download a summer memory verse placemat for Toddler/SonSeekers and Faithful Followers/Kingdom Kids. The list of Elementary HeartGuard verse can be found here.

Our Six Core Values

image

• God-glorifying: We aim to teach children that God, not man, is the hero of every Bible story and that He deserves all praise and glory.

• Heart-focused: We want to see children’s hearts radically transformed by the Spirit of God. Our aim is to get past the outward behavior to the heart of each child.

• Word-saturated: We desire for children to be filled with scripture, seeing that the Word of God is living and active and speaks authoritatively to every situation.

• Gospel-centered: We believe the message of the cross is central to all of life. The good news of Jesus Christ is our only hope yesterday, today, and forever.

• Mission-minded: We hope that children will treasure Christ more than anything and proclaim Him to the world.

• Discipleship-driven: We seek to partner with parents in intentionally pursuing the hearts of children by presenting Christ to them in both word and deed.
