Children in grades 1-6 at Oregon City Evangelical Church earn talents, which act as currency, for memorizing Bible verses and completing other religious activities. Talents can be used to purchase items or offset summer camp costs. Children are encouraged to bring an NIV Bible to class to look up verses and stay consistent with the version used for memory work. Each grade focuses on different Bible skills, and students can take an optional Bible skills challenge test to demonstrate their knowledge and earn recognition.
