CLASSES FOR KIDS & YOUTH
CHAMPIONS (ages 4 & 5)* The "MUSIC TIME" curriculum
uses songs and rhythm to teach stores of Jesus, in a warm, loving
environment, as the children learn about God's love and about belonging
in the community of a church.
EXPLORERS (elementary age) learn
Bible stories and explore what it means to follow Jesus and live in
God's love using a variety of learning models to explore a single story
or faith lesson over a period of 4-6 weeks. A team of
caring, dedicated, and enthusiastic teachers help the children learn
via storytelling, drama, games, science, art, music, nature, and more,
as they experience the love of God and build a foundation of faith
(while having lots of fun!).
MIDDLE SCHOOL (grades 6-8) will focus on exploring spirituality and what faith in Christ means in their own lives.
SENIOR HIGH (grades 9-12) a discussion-oriented, fun-loving exploration of God in our lives.
A CONFIRMATION CLASS will
also be offered beginning in September 2008 for youth in grades 8-12.
This class will meet during the Sunday School hour fall through
spring. More information will be available soon.
* Nursery care is offered for children under 4 during the Sunday School hour.
