Registration for Sunday School 2023-2024 opens July 2023!

Sunday School (3 Years - 4th Grade)

3 years (by September 1, 2023) - 4th grade

• Children learn Bible stories and truths in small groups in a variety of ways- reading the Bible, having conversations about the stories, playing games to get the stories into their bodies, and using art as a way to understand the stories.
• We begin in a large group to practice worship aspects (music, offering, passing the peace) and introduce the church season and story for the day.
• Students have the opportunity to grow in relationship with the children their age, older helpers, and adult mentors of the congregation. They also grow in their relationship with God!
• A donation of $15 for one child, $25 for 2 children, and a $40 family max is suggested for Sunday School. 
• We need you! Volunteer opportunities.

One Story Sundays

New this fall! Once a month, everyone in church will be reading, learning, and talking about the same story. This is an exciting way to engage in conversation on the car ride home, and in the week after. Everyone will interact with the Bible story in age-based ways with intergenerational learning aspects woven through the time of worship and learning. Details...

Sign Up for Grade Specific Text Alerts

We've heard from some families that you receive so much email that our communications get lost in your inbox and we've heard that some of you would prefer an occasional text to alert you to something important, or a text to let you know that we just sent an important email. So, we're inviting you to sign up for occasional text alerts so we can keep you in the loop.

We won't be bombarding you with texts, but if you'd like to receive occasional text alerts please opt-in for grade-specific updates/alerts!
