About the PrimeTime® Program
PrimeTime® offers churches and other organizations an effective tool for sharing God’s love and God’s word with children who would otherwise be alone and unsupervised during the after school hours. The PrimeTime® program features a 40-week curriculum (paralleling the school year) that combines creative Bible teaching and fun activities with tutoring and homework help you may already be providing. The program can be conducted either daily or weekly.
PrimeTime® provides a time and space for children to build relationships with adults and peers as they explore who God is and how to follow Jesus. The program has a variety of suggested games, crafts, or activities that can be adjusted for the needs of your community. Volunteers who use PrimeTime® are amazed at how easy the program is to implement without being watered down.
"PrimeTime® curriculum just gets better and better! It's so easy to use, but it's still deep."GS from Whitinsville, MA- "PrimeTime® has taught me to listen to and obey God. I ask God to guide my footsteps because I believe in the same promises that were given to Abraham and Sarah. I have faith and believe because I haven’t a sister who has a form of downs syndrome. I share the Word and pray with her daily in hopes that one day she is loved and offered the same opportunities as everyone else."Isaiah, Age 9. Brooklyn, NY
- "We will show love first, we will supply water, food, money, clothing for all the unfortunate and win souls for God"Tziah (8) and Isaiah (9), Brooklyn, NY, about their team’s mission project to South Africa
