One Semester · One Shared Day · One Clear Goal

The Monday plan is not about permanently moving The Judah Kids Project to ChristChurch. It is about using one semester to build a tutoring branch that can eventually stand on its own.

Spring Semester

The full Judah Kids program meets at ChristChurch on Mondays while tutoring, volunteers, systems, relationships, and instructional coaching are developed.

Long-Term Goal

The main afterschool program returns to Grace, while The ChristChurch Cubhouse remains as a focused tutoring branch.

We do not need 50–60 tutoring students. We need a healthy overall student population so we can identify the smaller group who truly need targeted literacy support.

The highlighted students represent roughly 12 students who may need targeted tutoring.

The 8–12 figure is a planning estimate, not a predetermined label. Actual placement would be based on student data, assessments, family input, and demonstrated need.

~80%

Judah Kids Enrichment

  • Dry-medium Art Technique
  • Adventures in Odyssey
  • Worship training
  • Homework support
  • Bible and mentoring
~20%

Targeted Tutoring

  • Reading fluency
  • Reading comprehension
  • Writing support
  • Small-group intervention
  • Increasing 1-on-1 support

“All Judah Kids at ChristChurch” does not mean 50–60 children doing one activity in one room. Students are distributed into small, supervised program spaces.

Children's Classroom
Art Technique
Dry-medium projects only—pencil, charcoal, colored pencil, marker, pastel, and similar materials. Wet and messy art remains at Grace.
Children's Classroom
Homework + Tutoring
Current homework support gradually develops into more targeted reading and writing tutoring as volunteers are trained.
Sam's Office
Adventures in Odyssey
Listening, comprehension, discussion, biblical application, empathy, and critical thinking with Luz Fraire.
Children's Classroom
Worship Training
Music, worship leadership, Scripture, ensemble development, and discipleship with Sam Musto.
Ordinary classrooms. Small groups. Defined activities. Judah Kids staff and volunteers run the program.

Because a tutoring site needs more than rooms and students. It needs people, relationships, culture, systems, trust, and trained volunteers.

Active Judah Kids Monday

New volunteers meet students and learn the culture
↓
Instructional coaches train tutors in real situations
↓
Tutoring becomes increasingly targeted and structured
↓
ChristChurch develops a tutoring team that can remain after the ASP returns to Grace

The full program is the scaffolding around the future tutoring site. Once the tutoring branch is strong enough to stand on its own, the scaffolding can come down.

A Sustainable ChristChurch Tutoring Branch

Transportation is not simply a convenience. It determines how many families Judah Kids can reach, which directly affects our ability to identify and serve the students with the greatest academic need.

The larger Monday program gives the future tutoring site the students, volunteers, leadership, relationships, culture, and momentum it needs to begin well.

What ChristChurch is not being asked to do

Operate Judah Kids, staff the program, permanently house the entire ASP, or turn ordinary classrooms into specialty program spaces.

What we are asking for

One shared Monday each week for one semester so Judah Kids can intentionally develop a tutoring ministry that can eventually operate as its own branch.

We are not asking ChristChurch to become the new home of Judah Kids. We are asking for one semester of Mondays to help us build something that can eventually stand on its own.
