Faith in Action at Cornerstone East Memphis: How Our Church Partnerships Shape Learning

Quick Answer
At Cornerstone East Memphis, children grow in both academics and faith. Weekly chapel, guided by Mission Church and First Evangelical Church, blends seamlessly with daily lessons using Wonders Ink and Frog Street. Families love that their child is learning early academics while also practicing gratitude, kindness, and respect in a nurturing, faith-filled environment.

What makes our curriculum unique?

Our curriculum is built on a thoughtful balance of early academics and faith.

• Frog Street provides trusted, play-based early education, helping children build literacy, math, and social-emotional skills.
• Wonders Ink introduces Bible truths through storytelling, memory verses, songs, and play, giving children the chance to connect faith to everyday experiences.

Every week, children also gather for chapel, supported by our partnerships with Mission Church and First Evangelical Church. These gatherings bring stories, music, and prayer into their week, making faith joyful and accessible for even our youngest learners.

How do Bible lessons come alive for young children?

Faith is never limited to a single story or a single day. Lessons are woven into activities that children love. For example, in September, children explored the story of Jacob and Esau using Wonder Ink. Teachers paired this with sensory play, dramatic storytelling, and creative art, helping kids not only hear the story but also understand its lessons on patience and compassion.

By combining stories with hands-on learning, children make meaningful connections between faith and their own everyday choices.

Why do church partnerships matter for children?

Our connection with Mission Church and First Evangelical Church allows children to experience chapel as part of their weekly rhythm. This partnership offers consistency, care, and a supportive community that extends beyond the classroom walls.

For families, it means your child is surrounded by trusted educators and faith leaders working together. Parents often tell us this balance of church involvement and early academics is one of the reasons they chose Cornerstone East Memphis.
