SUNDAY MORNING CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS

 

10:00 am -10:45 am Sunday School/Godly Play

Children and youth gather in the downstairs classrooms for 45 minutes of Sunday School/Godly Play, then return to church for communion.  

During the school year we offer classes for Nursery age through high school.

We nourish the faith of our babies and toddlers with the warm, reliable welcome they experience from our professional childcare providers.  Their faith is further nourished by the inclusion of liturgical and biblical symbols, colors, and pictures in our nursery play area.  Our teachers may also share faith-building songs and stories with children as they play in the nursery. 

3–4 year olds

We nourish the faith of our 3-4 year olds with a special pre-school class structured loosely in the pattern of Godly Play.  Children hear a bible story, respond to the story, and share a healthy snack or “feast” together. 

5–7 year olds

We nourish the faith of our 5-7 year olds by introducing biblical stories through the methodology of Godly Play.  We seek to support each child’s developing relationship with God through sharing the stories of the church, wondering together, responding to God’s Word through individualized “work”, and sharing the fellowship of a healthy snack or “feast” together. 

 8–11 year olds

We nourish the faith of our 8-11 years by allowing them to deepen their understanding of biblical stories through further exploration with Godly Play. We continue to support each child’s developing relationship with God through sharing the stories of the church, wondering together, responding to God’s Word through individualized “work”, and sharing the fellowship of a healthy snack or “feast” together. 

Mid-High schoolers

We nourish the faith of our middle and high school students by creating a safe and supportive environment in which they can explore their faith, deepen their knowledge of scripture, and share the joys and concerns of their daily lives.  We draw from a variety sources to create an original curriculum that is responsive to the specific interests and needs of each class.

During the summer and on school holidays we offer two mixed-age classes for:

Children (3-11 year olds)

Youth (12-18 year olds)
