What is Saturate?

This Wednesday night program, unique to ELFBC, is designed to be part of your child’s discipleship by teaching Biblical literacy, Christian service, and Biblical community in a super fun way. It has two main components, Choice Class and Bible Class. Your child will participate in both. More details can be found below.

During Bible class, the kids are learning about the chronological, overarching story of the Bible. We use Stick Figuring Through The Bible from Grapevine Studies as our curriculum. Students learn Bible Stories and draw them as stick figures into their Saturate books. It is a 4-year cycle all the way through Scripture. This year, 26-27, we will be going from the crucifixion to Revelation.

Your child can earn points at Saturate that earn them prizes! Different levels of points will earn more and better prizes. If they reach 150 points over the course of the year, they will earn a spot in our reward trip at the end of the year. This year, we are going to Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark in LaGrange on May 28!

During Choice Class, students attend a class in a specific discipline. They are not only learning the basics of that activity, but Biblical principles, stories, and how to leverage that discipline for the sake of the Gospel. These classes are subject to change each semester. Some examples of classes we have offered are: art, drama, band, coding, cooking, stomp, dance, photography, construction, sewing, the farm, and many more. Students choose their class during Choice Fair at the beginning of the semester and stay with that class until the next semester.

The work and learning that students do is featured during the Worship Nights each semester. Depending on the class, the students will perform, feature their projects, or show pictures or video of their learning. We also review the Bible lessons, worship, and have a lot of fun!

There are 3 categories in which kids can earn points. The participation and Student Drawing Page assignments are all worth one point each week. The extra points options range from 2-10 points each. Your child will have a point card to keep track of this. Make sure they keep up with it! The rewards for this year are:
