Celebrating our SFCAVPK Graduation
We proudly graduated 67 incredible students as they sang songs, recited Bible verses from memory, and confidently walked across the stage. What a joy it has been to watch these little ones grow in knowledge, faith, and confidence throughout the year. We are so proud of each and every one of them and cannot wait to see all that God has in store for their future. Once a King’s, always a King’s!
