Preschool through Grade 6

Sunday Morning
Each Sunday morning of the year there is a Bible-based Sunday school class for your child at both the 9:30 and 11:00 services. The curriculum of the Sunday program is designed to cover a basic Bible overview in three to five years.

9:30 AM

Preschool - Three-year-olds are welcome in our preschool room, where they learn Bible stories through games, drama and crafts.

Children four years old through Kindergarten are invited to participate in our Young Children and Worship program. This program offers them a worship service of their own. Based on the Montessori Method of education, the program teaches children basic worship skills, such as quietly listening to a "sermon" taught with wooden figurines, singing and praying. Each child is sent home with an individual blessing of their own, given by their teacher. It's a wonderful introduction to adult worship.

1st through 4th Grade - Students this age enjoy Rotation Model Sunday School, a fun way of learning about the Bible through music, drama, storytelling, art, games, science and cooking! Classes vary every week, making Sundays fun and exciting.

Club 5/6 - This is a unique class just for 5th and 6th graders during the 9:30 service, designed to help prepare kids for the Middle School program. Bible study and crafts are mixed with basic theology making for a more challenging environment.

11:00 AM

Preschool – Three and four year olds are welcome in our preschool room, where they learn Bible stories through games, drama, music and crafts. A different curriculum is used so children attending both services will have a different experience.

Kindergarten and First Grade - The foundation of Bible stories and prayer, taught in a fun way with a little added depth, is continued.

2nd through 6th Grade – Meet together for Bible lessons, music, crafts and fun during the first part of each church year. Fifth and sixth graders will meet in their own class in January of each year to provide more in-depth teaching and fun.

Midweek LOGOS
Wednesday Afternoon/Evening, 4:15 - 7:30 PM
October through May

LOGOS is a midweek program designed for ministry to children, youth and their families. It is a retreat-every-week that provides all of the dynamics of a good camp program. The four-part evening includes:

Recreation - outdoor/indoor games and crafts
Bible Study - learning about the Lord in a fun and fresh new way
Worship Skills - singing, acting, ringing bells, banner making
Family Dinnertime - Old-fashioned values at the table with a home-cooked menu served family-style, shared prayers and post-dinner game time

One of the cornerstones of the LOGOS program is parent participation. All parents must attend an annual parent meeting and at least one parent per family is expected to participate in one of the four areas of the program. However, not all areas require weekly involvement. Rotation varies, so check the many options. This commitment and effort on behalf of pastors, staff, church officers AND parents is what makes LOGOS one of the finest programs of Christian nurture for children and youth available today. Our kids love it and yours will, too!

Pumpkin Carnival
An old-fashioned fall harvest party complete with games, food and a costume parade, which our Middle and High School kids put on for smaller children. This October event features old standbys such as a cake walk and fishing booth, as well as the new kid favorite "carrot crunch", where you have to try to pound a moving carrot with a mallet. Bring your kids and your appetite!

Advent Celebration
The Sunday before Thanksgiving, adults and children gather for an evening of making holiday crafts and decorating the sanctuary for the Christmas season. Dinner is provided. The highlight of the evening is carol singing in the sanctuary and singing "Silent Night" under the stars in the courtyard.
