The Nursery
We have a wonderful air conditioned nursery space with a loudspeaker so the adult attendant does not have to miss the service.

Pre-K and Kindergarten

With this age group the children are encouraged to interact with a Bible story each week. They do this with songs, stories, games and crafts that reinforce the message of the story of the week.

First through Third Grade

With this group we focus on the message that is being conveyed by the story, with the main emphasis being the loving, forgiving nature of
God. The stories of the Bible are shared with energetic, youthful exuberance and the loving message of the Christ is conveyed through storytelling, role-playing, and fun and enlightening activities.

Fourth Grade (First Communion)

This class is typically a fourth grade class, however, any older child who would like to attend is welcome. The First Communion class provides the children with their first Bible, teaches them how to use it and spends the year giving an overview of all the wonderful things this Holy book has to offer. This prepares them to receive their First Communion which takes place on the first Sunday in May.

Fifth and Sixth Grade

Following the completion of the First Communion class, the children are ready to apply what they've learned. This class offers practical instruction so that they may be able to integrate their life experience with the principles they have studied.

Seventh and Eighth Grade

These students are learning to accept personal responsibility for making right choices in life and becoming more aware of their spiritual nature. In this class they learn how to apply these magnificent guidelines to their lives. This class is an environment where pre-teens are free to express who they are.

Ninth and Tenth Grade (Confirmation Class)

Ninth and tenth grade students attend a two-year spiritual group for teens who come together every week to discover who they are as spiritual beings. This class strives to leave negative judgment, criticism, and peer pressure outside while they explore the love that God has for them.

Summer Sunday School

Over the summer months, a one-room church school is held each week during the worship service time. Each class is centered around a Bible lesson, with crafts and games to reinforce it.

Vacation Bible School
