Education is central to the life of the church. Continued growth in the knowledge and love of God is of prime importance to our congregation. Our Christian Education program for children and youth has as its focal point the simple goal of teaching that each of us is a beloved child of God. Our children are the present and the future of our church and of our world. We view them as an integral part of our Christian ministry. We are committed to providing children with a warm, safe and inclusive environment, where they will feel loved and respected.

We encourage and welcome parental support and involvement. Please consider volunteering as a Rotation Sensation Leader or Shepherd or joining Educational Ministries.

Our Sunday Morning Programs

Sunday Morning Nursery: infant through age 3
The Nursery is staffed with two experienced care givers. It is located in room 11, and will be open 15 minutes before worship. Pagers are available so parents can be contacted in the sanctuary with any concerns. Children will experience their church in a safe, loving environment and learn that it is a good place to be!

Sunday Morning Rotation Sensation: age 4 through 8th grade.
Children will worship briefly with their families at 10:00 in the sanctuary and then will be dismissed to gather in the chapel. From there, children will head off to their workshops. Our church school program is based on the Workshop Rotation Model, a multiple intelligence, creative learning approach to Sunday School. Particular stories and themes of the Bible will be the focus for a period of 4-6 weeks. Different teaching mediums such as drama, Bible knowledge, cooking, art, movie and computers will be used to deliver the theme. Children all learn differently and by offering different styles of teaching, we hope to touch upon the learning style of each child. Once the rotation is completed, a new one will begin and will be offered for another 4-6 weeks. Parents should pick up their children from the chapel at 11:15.

Our Christian Education program encourages learners to:

• know themselves as children of God;
• know God revealed through Jesus Christ;
• know themselves as part of a Christian Community;
• discover the Holy Spirit in their lives.
