What is Caravan?

What is Caravan?
Caravan is a scouting, or kids’ club, type of program that meets at Bethel Cotn in the Family Life Center, Wednesday nights 6:30-8 p.m.

Children are assigned to one of the three major groups – Searchers (first and second graders), Explorers (third and fourth graders), or Adventurers (fifth and sixth graders) – according to their grade in school.

Badges are earned and awarded during a award ceremony.

The Caravan ministry exists to help elementary-age children become more like Jesus by encouraging their growth in the four specific areas mentioned in Luke 2:52: mental (wisdom), physical (stature), spiritual (favor with God), and social (favor with men).

Caravan is a time for children to learn how they can grow in all areas of their lives. It also helps children develop an appreciation for and understanding of Nazarene heritage and beliefs.

Caravan teaches children the Articles of Faith of the Church of the Nazarene, information about prominent figures in Nazarene church history, and valuable skills to help them develop spiritually, socially, mentally, and physically. This program is designed for children in first through sixth grade.

Build a Strong Foundation!
Matthew 7:25 illustrates the blueprint for successful Christian living--a strong foundation built on the Rock, Jesus Christ.

Every Christian faces challenges in this world. A foundation built firmly on Jesus Christ enables Christians to stand strong in the face of these challenges. Caravan is a key component to help build this foundation in the hearts of our children.
