Sunday School    September through end of May

Children & Youth gather with their families in worship at 10 a.m.  Following the Children's Sermon they leave for class.  Approximately every 5th week we have FAMILY SUNDAY  On that day there is no Sunday School so children, youth and families worship together in a service which children & young people have helped plan and participate.

FAMILY SUNDAYS - Everyone worships together - childcare available for little ones!

Pre-K (3's/4's) are taught in a self-contained class by two experienced, caring teachers.  They meet in the lower level and follow a curriculum appropriate to their age.


K-1st, 2nd-3rd, 4th-5th Graders participate in a Rotation Model of Christian Education.  Each unit lasts 4 weeks and during that time children "rotate" through 1 of 3 workshops dealing with a Biblical story, character or topic.  Each class has a shepherd who meets with them every week, guides them to their workshop and stays with them during the session.  On the 5th week, Family Sunday, the worship is planned around the theme of the previous rotation.  Fall 2009 Themes:  Unit 1:  Abraham & Sarah Unit 2:  The 10 Commandments, Unit 3:  Preparation for the Christmas Pageant scheduled for December 21 during worship.


Cream Cheese Crew (grades 6-8) stay on the 3rd floor but follow the same calendar and theme as the Rotation.  is Megan Gratzek.


Bagel Bunch (grades 9-12) Yes, there are real bagels, cream cheese & juice each Sunday as youth meet to discuss various subjects led by Larry Williams, Youth Director.
