This fall, JosiahKids will offer three components to our year-6 program. Contrary to the past, our students will now be able to sign up for one or all components we are offering. We will streamline our focus to:
​
-
Youth Discipleship
-
Performing Arts
-
Leadership through Service
​For the first time ever, our (discipleship and performing arts) programs will be offered off-site, on a weekly basis, with registration open to the community. Our leadership component will move from two sessions a month to one session a month, strongly pivoting into more hands-on service projects in the community. Three of our monthly sessions will be dedicated to mentorship and coaching of our Middle & High School students in areas critical to their transition from adolescence into young adulthood.
For the first time ever, our discipleship program will be offered off-site, on a weekly basis, with registration open to the community. This youth discipleship course is tailored to committed Middle School & High School students who are looking to go deeper in the Word. The course will be broken into two (2) twelve-week semesters.
​
-
Semester I - The Gospel of Luke
-
Semester II - The Book of Acts
The cost of the two courses is $120.00
In partnership with New Jersey's renowned, Jeremiah's house creative powerhouse, Kimberly Cullen, JosiahKids will for the very first time offer a faith-based creative expression collaborative for boys and girls ages 7 and up, open to the community starting September 2023 through April of 2024. Classes will be offered at The George Pierce Community Center on Friday evenings from 6-8pm. Students will bring their performances in acting, music, choreographed dance and more on big stage at our Annual Youth Leadership Awards Ceremony; The Buford Harvest & End of Year Ceremony on April 20th, 2024.

She has served as a background vocalist, performed in several off Broadway plays from Ohio to New York City and did extra work in Sea Biscuit and Spiderman II.

Our Leadership component is now moving from two sessions a month to ONE session a month—strongly pivoting into more hands-on service projects directed to meeting the needs of the poor and disadvantaged in our community.

The timeframe of these sessions has been designed to accommodate commute times for parents with students at both locations.
