Programs

 After School Program - Provides academic support, spiritual enrichment and growth opportunities for over forty elementary age children.  The program is distinct due to its partnership with Mercer University’s Tift College of Education which provides the Center with Master level education students that serve as tutors throughout the year. 

 Summer Camp - The Center's day camp lasts two months and engages over sixty children in experiential learning opportunities that focus on academic readiness, spiritual growth and emotional maturity. The children participate in a VBS type curriculum along with a reading program, art, music, recreation and educational travel.

 Middle School Program - Works to build young leaders by providing opportunities for academic enrichment, spiritual growth and character development.  The students participate in extracurricular academic projects, Bible study, service opportunities and educational travel.  Each semester the students take part in numerous service projects such as serving meals at a homeless shelter and working at a food pantry.  As the culmination of last year’s program, several of the students spent the last week of May in Washington D.C. experiencing the nation’s capital. 

 Food Cooperative - Beginning in February 2012 the coop will provide community members with food, nutrition education, health screenings, and a supportive community.  The Coop's primary goal is to provide members with food security.
