At Pod we teach children about the principles of:

Trust: know that God loves you and that you can trust Him, be part of the church family, trust your family and leaders, build friendships, take part and have fun.

Explore: know God as father and friend, trust and obey God and leaders, explore being a part of God’s family, love others, ask questions.

Endeavour: strong and secure relationships, lead and be led, put God’s Word into practice, take risks.

Conquer: apply God’s Word in your life wherever you go and in whatever you do, be a part of God’s Kingdom and see it advance, share your victories and struggles with wise people you trust, lead younger children to trust, explore and try.
