Church School (during Sunday Worship)

Children 4 yrs old - 5th grade attend the first 20 minutes of the Sunday Worship service (through the Children's message) then are excused to attend Church School. The only exception is on the first Sunday of the month, Communion Sunday, when children will meet in the Fireside Room before service at 9:30am and rejoin the congregation to celebrate communion. Sunday school release time is 10:50am, which gives parents about 20 minutes to enjoy social time while children finish their lessons.

Our Mission project is supporting Heifer International. Children are invited to bring in quarters weekly to fill our coin tower. To find out more about this organization visit the Heifer web site.

• Preschool Aged Children (4 year olds), Kindergarten

  Each Sunday these children will meet in the Preschool Room Rm. A. They will be singing, playing and learning about the wondrous God and the world around them, utilizing the WEE Believe curriculum, "We Belong to God."

• First - Third Graders

  Children in 1st-3rd grade will meet in the Fireside Room each Sunday to hear God's word. The emphasis this year will be "Imagine peace." The We Believe Multiage curriculum will also be used throughout the year.

  We always welcome visitors and encourage our children to bring friends with them to Church School. We are always looking for talented adult angels to help.

• Fourth Graders and up

  Children from 4th grade and higher meet downstairs in room 4 under the leadership of Deborah Crim. The "Faith Questions" curriculum will be used. The children will also be constructing the Godly Walk as a part of worship for the congregation.
