Balance
in each individual life as well as family life is very important to the
overall health of this group. Unity amongst all families in the group
is a must. The opposite of unity is division, meaning 2 visions. The
Bible states in Mark 3:25 ".....a house divided against itself, that
house cannot stand."
As
you can see, JG II has a moderate commitment in comparison to JG I, not
only on the part of the disciple, but on the parents. We do not
consider this to be an added activity to ones schedule, but a part time
ministry of like minded families raising their children together in
unity and like mindedness. We then go out and share our love for Christ
with those that need encouragement and hope. We expect full commitment
to the 3 hours of discipleship. JG's are allowed to participate in other
activities such as sports and music lessons, however, we do ask you to
prayerfully consider what you say yes to, and ask you not to be divided
or out of balance at home or with the group. As well, JG II is not
guaranteed performance, discipleship comes first. When we feel you are
ready, you may be asked to go on any trip or opportunity that opens up.
You will then be asked for your availability concerning an event. If
you are available, a confirmation will be sent to you if you are chosen
for a specific performance.

SCHOLARSHIPS -
(Pay-What-You-Can-Policy)
The Joshua Generation will never turn
anyone away for lack of funds. Email us for more information. Please
include (1) sufficient details to demonstrate eligibility for
scholarship, (2) the number of applicants in your family, and (3) the
amount you can afford to pay.
Tuition
for August will be due on the first day of discipleship, no
exceptions. Each payment after that will be due on the day of the first
class of that new month. Tuition is not based on a per class/per day
per month rate. Tuition is a monthly fee. which includes discipleship
training & rehearsals. Trainees are responsible for instruments,
dance attire, shoes, under garment performance pieces such as tights and
nude leos, cover up, costumes & travel costs (where applicable)
Requirements
Natural
giftings, prior training and past experience in dance, acting or
singing, specific instruments, etc.. is always a plus but is NOT a
requirement. However, a passion within the child to learn and use these
gifts and talents to glorify God and bring hope to people IS a
requirement. If the child is willing, passionate & teachable, we can
teach them almost anything. Musical theater & production is
like the body of Christ. It encompasses all levels, skills and giftings
of its cast to present a visual message that it's audience engages in.
School & Home School
By having available hours after school with the time commitment being less, JG II welcomes both school and home schooled children into the program.
Ministry Opportunities
The
Joshua Generation may minister locally at churches, children's
churches, events and more. In this new season, we will be ready for
performance/ministry at any given time. JG's are not guaranteed to
perform, but will be chosen as opportunities open up. All JG's will be preparing for an end of the year showcase on Saturday, June 2nd, 2012.
