Forming Essential Spiritual Habits

Envisioning the Christian life as a race, our Olympians program features the Olympic theme and urges children to “go for the gold” in their pursuit of godliness. We provide the resources, training and encouragement for leaders to guide children in forming essential spiritual habits.
