There are four clubs or age groups: four- and five-year- olds are Helpers; grades one and two are Watchmen; grades three and four are Warriors; and grades five and six are Champions. There are three main sessions during weekly Bible Clubs meetings. During Assembly Time a brief devotional lesson is presented along with other group activities (15 minutes). Club Time is when the club members work in their individual club manuals (45 minutes). During Game Time, refreshments are served and children engage in activities that support the lesson aim (30 minutes). Times for each session may vary. Red and blue vests are worn as a uniform by the club members. Color bars and pins are placed on the vests for achievements gained through completion of manuals, Scripture memorization and other Christian service functions.

Teen Discovery is a youth program for teenagers which provides opportunity for personal and group Bible study and encourages participation in Christian service in their local church. The fast- pace weekly youth meetings will create a visitor- friendly atmosphere in your youth group. Each week's lesson contains leaflets for the students. The instructor is furnished with step- by-step lesson outlines and lesson related activities. As an incentive, each student has the opportunity to accumulate points for class participation, completing individual manuals, memorizing verses, taking sermon notes, bringing guests and other Christian service activities. Also, students are divided into flights or teams that they remain a part of during an entire semester. These flights compete against each other weekly during the activity session, gathering flight points. This encourages participation and team work and is an exciting part of the Discovery experience. Teen Discovery is designed to have sixteen weekly meetings during both the fall and spring semesters and scheduled to allow a break during the summer months and grants time for holidays and/or special events during the semesters. It is formatted to create an environment that will be both interesting and Bible centered.
