At Villa Heights we take to heart the verse in Proverbs 22:6 which says
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it," (NAS). We want to help disciple school age children so they can understand salvation and Christian Conversion. We are committed to being a support to the parents in any ways that they need. We have programs for all ages of children from birth through 5th grade. All of our children's workers and teachers are committed towards loving the children of Villa Heights as their own and helping them develop an understanding of God through their personal teachings and interactions with them.
