If you have a student going to 5th grade who attends Mount Paran, we would love to invite them to join our leader discipleship program and become a World Changer! 

In becoming a World Changer, your child will learn more about what it means to truly receive from God, to know His voice, and to grow as a leader. World Changers will have the opportunity to serve in various roles during the Sunday services. Throughout the school year, there will be bi-monthly Zoom Bible studies, one of the main focuses for our World Changers this season. During these times, we will help equip them to know Christ better, follow Him, and dig deeper into God's word.

 Requirements to become  a World Changer:

• Going to 5th grade (25/26 school year)

• Having the willing heart to serve on a weekly basis at MP Kids Elementary.

• $35 registration fee to cover course material.

• Have accepted Jesus Christ into their lives as Lord and Savior.

• Complete a 100-word essay: “Why I want to be a World Changer, and why is it important to study God's word?”

• The essay is due no later than Sunday, Aug 18. You may fill out the essay portion during this registration process.

Parents will download and use the Dojo app. The Dojo app will be used for future World Changer communications with parents. Invitations to the Dojo app will be sent after the registration process is complete.
