Sunday School
We have programs for kids of all ages! Begin with our Nursery Room, staffed by two adults every Sunday. Graduate to one of our Sunday School programs, described below. These children begin the traditional worship service with their families, come forward for Time With the Young Church (the children's lesson), and are then escorted to their classrooms. Youth in grade 8 do not attend Sunday School, rather they attend confirmation classes immediately following the worship service. Older youth remain in church for the entire service and meet on Sunday evenings for fellowship, games, discussions, and more. See our Youth Group page. for details.
The 2009-2010 Sunday School year began in September, but children can join any time. Parents, download a registration form and bring the completed form with you or fill one out when you pick your child up. This is a great time to get started!
Pre-K Sunday School
NEW!We just added a class for 21/2 to 31/2 year old children. Of course, we still have our program for children who attend preschool. Each week we read a story from a children's Bible and extract a single lesson and go from there. While discussing the Old Testament stories, the lesson is often as simple as helping others, telling the truth, loving our families, making friends or being kind to one another. In the fall we move to the New Testament, when we will talk about Jesus and all the wonderful lessons he has for us. We learn how to pray, making our own simple, yet meaningful prayers and sharing them with each other and God. As we learn, we also have a great time singing songs, playing instruments, drawing pictures, playing games and making crafts.
Workshop Rotation Sunday School
Children in Grades K through 7 attend classes that are based on the church calendar. We use a workshop model, which means teaching the lesson in many ways. Crafts, plays, cooking, computers, and labs are just some of the ways we learn! This year’s theme is “covenant”. All year the kindergarten through seventh grade students will learn that a covenant is a promise of a relationship, and God continually and unconditionally seeks to have a relationship with humankind.
Vacation Bible Camp
Vacation Bible Camp is held annually. Activities will be based on a different theme every year. Children aged 4 through 5th grade are encouraged to attend.
