Sunday School is offered for children three years old through the sixth grade. Children begin the 9:30 worship service in the sanctuary for energetic opening worship and a relevant and fun Children's Message. They are then dismissed to Sunday School within the first 10 minutes of worship. After classroom dismissal at 10:30, the Kindergarten through 6th grade can be picked up or will be escorted back to the service if it is still in progress. The 3 and 4 year olds can be picked up when the service is over.
The 3 and 4 year old classes enjoy age appropriate stories, crafts and music geared for their short attention span.
Kindergarten through 6th grade classes learn the Bible message through several 4 week sessions using the Power Express curriculum. Each lesson will help your children learn God's word through interactive Bible stories, games, creative drama, hands-on projects, music, crafts, food, cooperative learning experiences and movement.
At various times throughout the year, Family Worship services are planned where children worship with their families and special activities are planned.
Scripture Memorization
As a way of growing inwardly in faith, we encourage children to memorize the following traditionally important Scripture passages and writings of the church.
Kindergarten, First and Second Grades - The Lord's Prayer
Third and Fourth Grades - The Ten Commandments
Fifth and Sixth Grades - The Books of the Old and New Testaments
