Looking around us, we can see complex design and intricate
relationships in the natural world that testify to the creative, life-
giving hand of God.  In Creation Club, we learn the definition
and effect of worldview - the overall perspective from which
one sees and interprets the world around them.  

The Bible is the “History Book of the Universe”, wherein the
God of Creation reveals Himself and His thoughts toward
mankind.  Our worldview is based solely on Bible - the
inerrant, cohesive, inspired Word of God.  We study our way
through the 7 C’s of History, exploring the literal days of
Creation, mankind’s fall into a state of sin, the effects of the
global flood of Noah’s day, the dispersion of people groups at
the Tower of Babel, the birth of Christ our Savior  - God in the
flesh, the sacrifice of Christ on the cross to redeem us from
our lost and sinful state, and ultimately - His plan to make all
things new (Rev. 21:5).

“For the invisible things
of him from the creation
of the world are clearly
seen, being understood
by the things that are
made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so
that they are without
excuse:”  (Romans 1:20)
Along the way, we also gain appreciation for the marvels of Creation:  plants, animals, the
cosmos and the remarkable design of the human body and its various systems, rejoicing
in the knowledge that we are indeed, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14.)

In the end, the choice is yours.  Will you put your faith in millions of years of unobservable,
unrepeatable, statistically improbable accidents and mutations?  Or will you put your faith
in God, who loves you (whether you choose to love Him or not), who intricately designed
you and created you to have fellowship with Him?
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ:”
(Romans 5:1)
Creation Club begins in June and runs
through the end of August, about 11 weeks
duration.

It is for grades K-6.  We also have a
Preschool Creation Club for ages 3-5.  We
meet at 7pm on Wednesdays in the gym.  We
begin with lesson time, then have snack time
and conclude with game/craft time.

We often have special guest speakers:
- Mark Dowler - Bible Science Safari
- Karl Priest - Insects Bug Evolution
- Water Night with the Ripley VFD and
 more.

Our primary curriculum is the Bible, but we
also use a lot of materials from the
renowned apologetics ministry Answers in
Genesis.  Be sure to check out their website,
www.answersingenesis.org or sign up for
their free and informative e-newsletter.
