Church School for Children and Youth
Preschool (3-5year olds)
We offer Christian education for preschool children, ages 3-5 using the preschool version of the same Rotation Workshop curriculum used with the grade school classes. The children learn Bible stories and Christian concepts through creative use of art, storytelling and play. Caring and Experienced teachers guide children through this early learning experience. Parents are always welcome and are encouraged to sign up to help.
Kindergarten through Third Grades:
What is Rotation Sunday School? It is a three week study of one Bible lesson. The Kindergarten-5th grade children are broken into groups, based on grade, and rotate to different stations each week. Using the Workshop Rotation Model, children learn and experience Bible stories and Christian concepts through child-friendly multi-media such as art, dramas, music, games, food, puppets, and storytelling. This model recognizes that children love repetition and need repetition to develop a lasting memory of the content.
Fourth through Sixth Grades:
The class will use Connect, a quirky tween-centered curriculum. This curriculum isn’t “little kid Sunday School!” The resources used are developed just for tweens that blend solid theology with quirky humor. Connect engages preteens in God’s big story through videos, Bible exploration, and hands-on projects. This curriculum takes tweens on a journey through the Old Testament and into the New Testament, exploring the connections between several stories each week. Every lesson follows a three-part sequence: See, Explore, and Make. Each week, tweens focus on and reinforce a theme by watching a witty video, exploring biblical text, and creating projects that range from games to art and more.
Middle and High School Church School:
The class will use the curriculums Colaborate, Re:form, FAQ’s and Youth Foundations of Personal Finance. The class will discuss Old Testament and New Testament stories as well as explore the connections between several stories each week. As Christians, we recognize the Bible as the source of what we need to know to live as God’s people. Youth Church School helps connect faith and daily living to teach students how to live and share the Good News every day!
Communion Class
Each Spring and Fall there is a class to learn about the meaning of Communion designed for children (ages 4 and above) and their parents (one parent must attend). Parents make the decision on when children are ready to participate in Communion.
Grade School Bibles
The class learns bible skills and works on activities throughout the school year. Bibles are presented in the Spring.
Church School Library
We have a wonderful collection of books for children, youth and parents available. Anyone of any age may check them out. New material is added frequently.
