Sabaoth Ministries/Base Camp, a kids' Bible ministry that seeks to reach the inner-city children of Grand Rapids, is currently located at Solomon's Porch in Jenison.
Kelly Ellis, the founder and leader of Sabaoth, begins every meeting by teaching a Bible story in a large group setting. Cornerstone Terra Firma students wait quietly in the back of the room, ready to assist with the activities to follow.
When the Bible story is done, Kelly separates the children into different groups based on what each child wants to do. One of the choices available for the kids is the opportunity to make a craft.
While some children choose to make a craft, others choose to play games on the ministry's collection of iPads. Cornerstone students oversee the games.
Others choose to visit the Snack Shop, which is managed by Kelly. The kids can "buy" from a large selection of candy, chips, and pop with points that they've earned throughout the night.
Still others decide to go outside for a game of volleyball in the waning sunlight; the Sabaoth meeting nears its close.
