- Interactive games and activities that challenge them to find Jesus throughout the Bible, as well as encourage prayer and a life serving the Lord.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
- Before working with minors, all team members must pass an extensive background check and complete training through ProtectMyMinistry which helps them identify potential threats to our children.
- The facility we use at American Academy is under continually recorded video surveillance. We can access these recordings through the school’s administration.
- We maintain a single, controlled entry point to our children’s area. Only parents/guardians and approved team members are allowed in the children’s area. Parents/guardians are accompanied by a team member at all times.
- Our check-in process utilizes a matching number system. Our team verifies that your number matches that of your child's before he/she is released to you. We can also note any allergies or medical conditions your child may have.
