Sunday School -- 10:00am on Sunday Mornings
(Last day is Sunday, April 29)
Preschool Sunday School
We offer Sunday school for 2 year olds (those who are 2 years old by August 31), 3 year olds, Pre-K (those that are 4/5 years old – depending on if they went to kindergarten) and Kindergarten age children.
Their rooms are on the first floor of the education building. They are each in an age level class. We focus on introducing concepts such as God loves us, God made the earth, as well as Bible stories. The lesson plans allow for many different activities – understanding the needs of preschool and kindergarten children. Music is also a part of their morning and they will periodically sing at one of the church services on Sunday morning.
To enroll your child in preschool Sunday school, you may either call the church office, or you may simply bring your child to Sunday school at 10am on Sunday morning. Either way works!

Rotation Sunday School (1st - 5th grades)
This is a model of Sunday School where the children rotate to different rooms each for 4-5 weeks while they study the same theme. The theme is presented in a different medium in each room allowing children to use several of the intelligences. We have found Rotation Sunday school to be very beneficial. The kids really enjoy this style of Sunday school.

Wednesday Afternoon Kids
This program is for children who attend WAM! (Wednesday Afternoon Music) and need a place to be until parents are able to pick them up. At the conclusion of WAM! the children are taken over to the education building (upstairs) where there are activities available such as boards games, homework room, art activities, computer room, and sometimes they play hide and seek! When weather permits, they go outside to play on a playground.

Are you a family whose schedule doesn’t allow attending Sunday school on Sunday morning? We are in a very different world than a decade ago and Sunday mornings aren’t always available to attend church. We’ll have just the thing for you! We offer a Wednesday evening Christian education program for children in the elementary grades. It will be held on the second floor of the education building from 6:45—7:30pm. Please call the church office to enroll your child—692-4345.
