Our church school is located in a separate building in back of the church. Church school is available at both the 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. church services. The nursery is located in the church near the door in the sanctuary near the pulpit.

Children who attend 8:30 Church School begin each Sunday in worship with their families and go to their classes after the Children’s Message. Children who attend 10:00 Church School attend worship on a rotating basis.

Children who attend Church School at 8:30 start in church to begin worship with their families. Following the children’s message, the children proceed to their classrooms. The children are divided into three combined-age groups: Pre-school (ages 2-4) and Kindergarten; Grades 1-3 and Grades 4-7.

The curriculum used at the 8:30 service is called “Live B.i.G”. This is a Bible-based curriculum and helps children see, hear and live their Belief in God. Short video segments bring faith-filled, high energy excitement to our children with characters who model B.i.G. behavior. This DVD based resource is designed to excite and enrich our children’s spiritual lives by bringing every day, real world experience to Sunday School. The program seamlessly integrates the three ways children learn: hearing, seeing and then living what they learn. Each month has a theme, a “B.i.G. Idea” and a Bible Memory verse. Lessons include a Bible story, DVD segment, activities to immerse and connect the children in the Bible story, and ends with closing worship and prayer.

Gather 'Round: Hearing and Sharing God's Good News

Children who attend the 10:00 Church School begin worship with their families on a rotating basis from kindergarten through grade 7. This schedule is published in the monthly church newsletter the Tidings. Otherwise, children report directly to their Sunday School class each week.

Children are placed in classes based on their grade in school, beginning with classes for pre-school ages of 2, 3 and 4, then kindergarten through grade 7. The curriculum used at the 10:00 service is called “Gather ‘Round: Hearing & Sharing God’s Good News.” This is a Bible-based curriculum, and is based on a four-year Bible outline. There is a Bible story each week, followed by various activities for the children to reflect on and connect to the story. Children then are able to “respond” to the story through small group or individual response options. The “ending and sending” segment of the class includes a song and/or prayer and a scriptural blessing.

Care is provided during the 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services for infants to two years of age. We have a summer nursery for infants to entering kindergarten age.

The summer program is for children having completed kindergarten to those having completed 6^th grade. Children who have not yet entered kindergarten are welcome to spend the worship hour in the cradle room (nursery).

The children who attend Church School this summer will start in church to begin worship with their families. Following the children’s message, the children proceed to their classroom, which is on the first floor of the main church building, just down and across from the main church office. At the conclusion of the service, parents may collect their children from that classroom. If the classroom door is closed when you arrive, it is an indicator that the teacher is trying to finish up the lesson with the class.
