CHRISTIAN EDUCATION PROGRAMS

  SUNDAY SCHOOL

  (10:30 a.m.)

 

  Sunday School is offered for every age from 2-year olds through senior high school. We use Presbyterian Church (USA) curriculum for 2- and 3-year olds, second, fourth and fifth grades. 4-year olds are taught using Through the Bible in Felt curriculum;  

  Kindergarten and first grade use worship center materials; third grade is Presbyterian Catechism/Bible Study; mid-high and senior high use varied curricula.

 CHILD CARE  is available at 9:00 a.m. for all young children in the Pink Room (lower level).

  NURSERY for infants to 2-year olds is open  from 8:45 to 11:45 and is staffed by loving, capable caregivers. The Senior Caregiver is licensed and CPR certified.

 

  CHOIR – Cherub Choir (K-2nd grades), Junior Choir (3rd-5th grades) and Youth Choir (mid-high) rehearse at 11:30 a.m. on Sundays (September - May).

 

 LOGOS - our Wednesday night family program 5:00-7:15 for children 1st grade through mid high, and runs through April. Pre-LOGOS is offered for younger children of parents who are working in the program.  Your children will participate in four activities:  Bible study, crafts/service, worship skills and family time (dinner).   Men's and Women's Bible studies are offered from 6:30-7:30 p.m..   The fee is $35 per semester per child. The fee includes Bible study materials, craft materials, and dinner. 

  Confidential scholarships are available. 

   VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (VBS)

  Our VBS program is usually held the second week of July, and is based on life in Jesus' time - Marketplace 29 A.D.    We wear togas, live in tents, and are a part of a tribe of families.  We learn skills often taught in 29 A.D., go to synagogue and learn valuable lessons from a "Rabbi," sing and dance, hear stories from storytellers by the lake, and have snacks that are appropriate for the time.

 

This is truly an experience neither you nor your child should miss!  The program is geared to children ages 5 through 5th grade with a preschool program for children of parents assisting with the program.  Our youth participate in dramas and assist in many areas.
