What happens at Sunday School?

• Large Group/Small Group Teaching Format - Age groups come together for large group presentations that actively engage the children by creatively presenting the Bible event or lesson. After, children return to their own small groups of 6-8 kids for application and hands-on activities with their adult Shepherd.

• Jesus-centered/Bible-based - The content is Jesus-centered and Bible-based. The children are challenged to take their faith into everyday applications.

• Interactive Learning - The lessons use active learning methods that stimulate multiple senses to engage the children for an exciting and fun experience every week. The small group teachers, called Shepherds, focus on connecting with the kids relationally and helping them apply God’s truth to their lives.

• Connecting with Parents - Kids bring home sheets called “God Talk at Home” that parents can use for family devotions and one-on-one time with their child to talk about the weekly lesson.

Children's Classes:

Sunday School classes are available for children ages 3 to grade 12. The nursery is available for infants to age 3 during the Sunday School hour, and is located in the Education building.

Tips for parents of young children:

• Come to the opening with your child. Show them the routine. Pray with them and sing with them.
• Walk your child to class or let your child show you where their class is.
• Come in and stay for all or part of the class time. This will help a reluctant young child feel secure.
• Pray that your child would open their heart to the Word of God. Pray for your Sunday School teacher. Pray with your child.
• Be consistent and don't give up! The same kid who says he hates it ultimately comes to love Sunday School.
