Christian Education Information

Sundays at 10:15 a.m., September to May

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) will kick off Fall 2007 with The Gospel According to the Simpsons ~ a discussion-oriented, fun-loving exploration of God in our lives.

* Nursery care is offered for children under 4 during the Sunday School hour.
