Christ-centered reading enhancement program for elementary students
Co-founders Scott and Robin Turner developed the CEOC First Kids Learning Program to tackle the steady decline in reading proficiency across our nation.
Nearly two-thirds of our nations’ 4th graders are not able to read at grade-level! *Source

67% (or two-thirds) of U.S 4th grade students are not proficient in reading.
*National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
Our complimentary after school program serves 1st through 5th graders in two locations during the fall and spring school year.
We aim to build character and improve reading literacy in a caring, fun-filled environment. To accomplish this, we use a technology-based, adaptive reading curriculum, one-on-one and group literacy activities, and Bible story time with memorization and application!
First Kids is designed to strengthen the following foundational reading skills:
- Phonics
- Text Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension


Encouraging high school & college student athletes to use their love & talent for the game to go beyond the field of play
A former NFL player, Scott Turner knows first hand the necessity to steward well the platform God gives. He credits much of his success to several mentors who were instrumental in solidifying the Kingdom mindset that drives every aspect of his life.
CEOC aims to perpetuate this mindset in student athletes by imparting tools that help apply biblical wisdom to navigate opportunities, overcome adversity, build relationships, and light up the world!
Our “First Down” initiative was launched in 2024 with 12 high school athletes. And, we recently completed First Down U (University) at SMU with over 20 athletes. These students experienced interactive training sessions led by former professional and collegiate athletes, as well as business and community leaders. We covered:
- Professional Etiquette
- Role vs. Identity
- Transition
- Financial Literacy
- Social Media Presence & Safety
- Career Success / Resumé Building / HR Panels
