Sunday School

Join us for Sunday school mid-September through mid-May from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for a wide range of biblical stories, worship, creative learning, & more. The preschool & kindergarten crews learn about Jesus, the Old Testament, & church history through the help of Faith Weaver lessons. The 1st through 5th graders explore the Bible & Christian life with a workshop model Sunday school. They learn about one story for 4 weeks, but get to experience it 4 different ways: stories, drama, puppets, art, games, movies, science, photography, computer workshops, & more!

We begin at 9:30 a.m.in our choir room (Harmony Room) for Kids' Worship. This worship service teaches children about the basics of worship in the sanctuary. They have songs, scripture & a mini-lesson/sermon, offering collection, prayers, & announcements. They are able to participate in each part & use their new skills to help share in the larger community of faith when worshiping with family & friends. Yes, our children usher, greet, & help assist with communion & scripture reading with the adults.
