WEPAW

It is never too early to introduce the arts to our children. WEPAW introduces vocal, rhythm and percussion training to preschool and elementary aged children. They experience the joy, discover the discipline, and are instilled with confidence as they embrace the YEPAW tradition. Designed for children ages 4 to 11 (if your child turns 12 this year, they are eligible for YEPAW!).

YEPAW for the "wittle" ones!

Explore the Arts.

Our 4-11 year olds work hard! Their workshop is full of creativity. From 9 am to 1 pm, their journey through arts and crafts, choral, and percussion classes is no easy feat. They engage in a week of exhilarating artistry. We are teaching our future leaders as young as 4 years old that they are not mistakes nor are they accidents. They can serve the Lord and choose excellence even at their tender age!

Build Community.

Our community has shown how proud they are of our mini artists in how they volunteer their time to love on our kids throughout the week. The love is also evident in the way that they show up for the WEPAW community performance at the culmination of their workshop. Our staff and families dedicate countless hours to provide a safe space to not just prepare a performance but to build positive relationships, get to know faces by name, and push them to towards their best selves.

Grow Together.

We are proud to say that we strive to groom our little ones for future success and excellence even in their relationships with their families and friends. Our children work hard together, and they grow in life together. We’ve watched friendships blossom as students from our first class of WEPAW in 2013 continue to blaze the trail and journey now through YEPAW together.

 
 

“WEPAW is an exceptional program for the ‘wittle ones’ because it brings people of faith together to inspire our youth to strive for greatness. As a parent, I can confidently say the WEPAW program demonstrates the importance of having a close relationship with God and expressing it through the arts. My children have enjoyed learning the fundamentals of drumming, singing, and the importance of sign language. WEPAW is empowering and will definitely prepare the youth to lead, serve, and make a difference. WEPAW allows the chance to uplift the young generation and allows them to see the possible beyond the now.”
