Sunday School

Sunday School is offered for children ages 3 (by September 1) through 5th grade at each worship service from September through May. Worship services are Saturday 5pm and Sunday at 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00am. Children begin in worship with their families each week and then go to their classroom after the Bible story is told in worship. Children and parents will go to Sunday School together on Milestone days to experience and celebrate their child's Milestone.

Children will have a variety of experiences including Classroom, Children's Church, and rotating through Discovery Centers. Discovery Center and Children's Church Sundays are designed to help the children experience the story and worship in ways that are meaningful to them in a large group setting. In addition, Preschoolers and Kindergartners have a weekly Large Group Music Time to sing songs and learn the main point of the Bible story that day with Theo the puppet. Children in Grades 1-5 also have Worship Leadership opportunities throughout the year to usher, greet, or read in worship. Our 5th grade class will have various options to lead younger children during the year.

Our congregation will be using Spark Sunday School. Spark is designed to fit all the different ways kids learn and empowers kids to interact and engage with the Bible. All children explore the same Bible story each week, yet each age level focuses on the story in an age appropriate way. Each child registered for Sunday School will receive a Spark Bible.

Volunteer Opportunities

There are a variety of ways to volunteer for Sunday School, both in and out of the classroom with varying degrees of time commitment. We have needs for teachers, substitutes, Discovery Center Leaders, music leaders, puppeteers and lots of opportunities for behind-the-scenes help. Please prayerfully consider offering your gift(s) and time to volunteer in at least one way this program year.

Fabulous 5th Grade

We want to prepare our 5th graders for Confirmation by introducing them to one another through fun events. You can sign up to come to one, a few, or every event. This is a great opportunity for both parents and kids to get acquainted before the Confirmation experience begins. If you have a 5th grader, you will receive information regarding this program in the fall.
