About this program:
The TORCH program is to be implemented in the present youth through the
Sunday School program. TORCH is to provide positive reinforcement for the principles
held by God in the Bible. The TORCH program was designed to create a challenging and
strong system of Christian Education for our young children. A merit system is included to
reward and encourage Christian values and participation in various ministries of the church.
The methods used in the TORCH program may be different, but the main goal of our
program is to reach our young children for Christ and to train them for service in His
church.
Objectives:
A. To lead our young people to Christ.
B. To build lasting relationships with Christian friends and mentors.
C. To encourage and impart Biblical knowledge and strong Christian values.
D. To provide a means of reaching into the community to the needy.
Score keeping:
TORCH members will fill out point cards during the week and turn them in on
Sunday. Teachers will award any "Teacher Awarded Points" on Sunday and turn those in
to the TORCH secretaries. Some of the scoring has been left up to the honor of the
TORCH members in order to display trust and to build character. Awards will be
presented to the TORCH members during morning worship service.
