INFORMATION
In the summer of 2001 it was announced that the Pontiac grade school district would be eliminating it's long standing after school program due to a lack of funding.  Parents across the community immediately began to look for a new safe environment to place their children in for care after school was out.  Becky Walker, the Children's Coordinator at First United Methodist Church, after time in prayer, discussion with parents, and much thought, formed a group to organize an after school program that would be held at the church.  The new faith based after school program would be staffed by her as the director.  The hope was to not only provide a safe environment for students, but also to give them personal growth opportunities.

Children are bused to the church by District 429. The After School Program does not meet when school is not in session.
