We are WILD about families and WILD about Jesus...

Because Jesus is WILD about you!

The Wild at Real Life is a Bible-based, age-appropriate, community for children from birth through 5th grade. Childhood is the most crucial time of development in a person's faith and we are committed to loving and teaching your children about God.
Whatever your child's age or personality, you can know they are being loved and taught right on their level. In today's difficult culture, we stand with you in making your family all it can be. We like to say it this way: Around here we are WILD about families and WILD about Jesus.

Month at a Glance

Current Series- Animated
 A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ON THE PROPHETS
If you’ve ever gotten a little emotional during your favorite Disney or Pixar movie, you know animation is a powerful tool to not only tell big stories, but to make us feel big feelings, too! In this four-week series, we’ll look at some stories of the Old Testament prophets as we explore some of those feelings. These stories will remind kids that God cares about our big feelings. With God, we can all feel secure, comforted, valued, and loved, even when our emotions tell us otherwise.

Tip of the Month

September
This month we will learn about ways we can help our children navigate the scary world that they are growing up in. There is so much evil and hate no matter where we look these days- from watching violence on television or seeing it  on social media. Given the increased exposure to social  media nowadays, our children have instant access to all of these terrible things happening in the world. Therefore, it is necessary that as parents we help teach them ways to process this information. Be sue to check out this month's  video to get all the practical tips!
