Forming future disciples and equipping the saints. Our children's Sunday School utilizes a lectionary-based curriculum that ties what our children hear in church to the lesson they're learning in Sunday School. All age groups learn together, with the older children (pre-teens and teenagers who have not started attending Bible Study, yet) helping the younger children with their lessons before receiving theirs.
Pre-K (0 - 5) This age group exclusively plays with Biblical and liturgy inspired toys under adult supervision.
Lower Elementary (6 - 8) This age group is very visual and hands-on. They generally start with a storybook version of one of our readings in church, followed by a short discussion and a hands-on activity to drive home the lesson. Bible verse memorization and snacks are included.
Upper Elementary (9 - 11) This age group is trending towards less stimulating visuals and more towards hearing the Bible from its source. They still are engaged with hands-on activities to help drive home the lesson, though these activities can be more mentally stimulating than visual. Bible verse memorization and snacks are included.
Junior High (12 - 14) This age group is starting to engage more intentionally with the lectionary readings. They engage in deeper discussion, and their activities are geared towards real-life application. Bible verse memorization and snacks are included.
Senior High (15 - 17) Our oldest age group is delving much deeper into the lectionary readings through thorough and serious discussion. They have less "activities" to do, though they are given a discussion sheet where they are encouraged to fill in the answers to the things we discuss in class in their own words. Bible verse memorization and snacks are included.
