Jacob’s Ladder Leadership

Jacob’s Ladder Leadership students previously participated in our Jr. program but as they got older, wanted to do more. Leadership students set goals to grow their character, work through Christian leader curriculum, participate in service projects, and assist with the Jr & Mini programs.

Jacob’s Ladder Jr.

Jacob’s Ladder Jr. is a ministry where we pour into a group of middle school students with Love, the Word, and encouragement as they enter into their teen years. Our hope is that they will advance into our Jacob’s Ladder Leadership program and fall in love with Jesus. In addition, all our students may receive tutoring and counseling, if needed.

Jacob’s Ladder Minis

Jacob’s Ladder Minis serves elementary students weekly through loving adults sharing the word of God through age appropriate Bible lessons, character studies, games, and activities.
