The Creators
As grandmothers, mothers, teachers, leaders, sisters and aunts, we don’t like what the world is teaching our children.
Our desire is for them to have strong faith in God, the Bible and what the Lord is leading them to do.
We want parents to trust they can let their children listen to Zeke and Elliot without fear of what might be said or done.
As children’s ministry workers for most of our lives, we have a combined experience of over 100 years.
