Acres Away is our “Parent's Day Out” ministry. This program is for children ages 1 to 4 years and includes Bible-based curriculum. Our purpose is to provide a loving environment for children so that parents may have the opportunity for a time of relaxation and rest. By providing this time away, we hope to strengthen the parent's efforts to be the best they can be to their children.

The Acres Away program curriculum offers monthly themes. Each day, your child's classroom will have age appropriate, planned activities that revolve around that theme. Below is a sample schedule that shows the activities for a typical day.
