Sunday School

Preschool Age:  We have childcare for infants, a toddlers and two year-old class, a three and four year-old class and a five year-old class.  Children meet in their classrooms for Bible lessons and activities at 9:30am.  At 9:45am, all preschool children gather in Room 109 for music.

 

Elementary Age:  Children in grades one and two gather in Room 211 and grades three, four, and five gather in Room 213.  We use a modified version of the Sunday School Rotation system.  Children study the same Bible story for a month.  The story is presented using a different experience each week such as cooking/mission, art, science, games/drama, or movie.  Teaching teams teach for one Sunday per month.

 

Youth gather in Room 224 for announcements and a time of fellowship; middle schoolers move to Room 230 for Bible study.

 

Adult classes offer a variety of ways to study the Bible - discussion, study guides on books of the Bibles or topics, videos, speakers, specific issues of the Christian life (Apostles Creed, forgiveness, etc.).
