All classes up through eighth grade meet by sitting on the right-hand side of the Sanctuary with their teachers at 9:30 a.m. for the opening of the Contemporary Worship service. At approximately 9:45 a.m. they go to their individual rooms for 55 minutes of class time, ending at 10:30 a.m.

The Board of Christian Education is excited about our new Sunday School Program, "Catch the Faith", that will be implemented this fall.  This rotational style of teaching Bible stories, a growing trend since the 1990's, has many benefits.  

The feature we are most enthused about is that this method repeats the Bible lesson several weeks through different learning media such as drama, crafts, geography, movies and even food.  Based on the theory children learn differently, this variety of experiences will not only reach all types of learners, but reinforce the lesson and keep it interesting for all the students.

Instead of the traditional classroom where one teacher prepares a new lesson each week for the same class a whole year, in this program the students will visit a different learning station every week for 4 weeks on the same Bible lesson.  The stations will be led by leaders, working in their area of interest such as computers, drama, crafts, music, etc, for a commitment of only that 4 week lesson.

By committing to this new exciting Sunday School Program, we hope to:

1.  Give every child (including infrequent attendees) several chances to experience Bible stories with multimedia resources in the ways that they learn best.

2.  Have more members of the congregation interacting with our Sunday School children as the time commitment is for only 1 lesson (4 weeks) in any area you are interested in.

3.  Create a fun, learning experience for young and old alike as we share God's love.

So please join us and "Catch the Faith" by volunteering to lead a lesson in this new program.  Call the church office at 654-7459 or Darlene Nagel or turn in a volunteer slip in an offering plate.

A computer lab with five computers and a variety of exciting Bible software is now available in the Sunday School Director’s office to supplement the curriculum. It is hoped that this contemporary approach will serve to deepen the children’s understanding and enjoyment of scripture.

2007-2008 Teachers for our Kindergarten through 6th grade classes are:

As a way of growing inwardly in faith, we encourage children to memorize the following traditionally important Scripture passages and writings of the church.

The Board of Christian Education is planning an upbeat "family-oriented" 9:30 worship service during the summer months.  A committee is planning special activities that will involve children in the worship service.  We encourage families to enjoy this worship time together!!
