In the preschool Bible course, students will explore the foundational truths that "God Made Me," "God made all things," "God knows all things," and "God is everywhere," with a special emphasis on the Bible's divine origin. Throughout the year, they will learn about God's creation, His love and purpose for them, and key biblical figures like David, Moses, Esther, and Jesus. They will delve into themes of obedience, kindness, honesty, and God's eternal nature through stories such as "The Fall," "The Good Samaritan," "Daniel in the Lion’s Den," and "Noah’s Ark." Practical lessons will help them apply these truths in their daily lives, while memory verses like Hebrews 13:17a, Ephesians 4:32, and Psalm 23:1 will guide their understanding of living for God's glory. The course will conclude with the story of Jesus' birth and a focus on glorifying God by trusting and obeying Him, with the promise of His return.
