Christian education opportunities are available for ages three through adult.

Sunday School

Sunday School from 9:40 - 10:35 a.m. is placed directly between our two worship services. Sunday School is open to 2-year-olds and their parents through 5th grade. Route 67 (a middle school program) meets at the same time.

The Sunday School program uses Witness as our curriculum because of its strong biblical foundation and emphasis on the salvation story with different age-appropriate Bible stories each week. And, because character building and teaching Christian values are important for faith development, we include activities that help children develop faith traits ...those characteristics that strengthen them to be disciples through the inspiration of the Bible characters from which they learn. Classes are taught by volunteer members of the congregation by “team teaching”. Students have the same teachers for the entire school year.

Contact Dianne Helfinstine, Director of Christian Education, for more information on our Sunday or Wednesday School Programs.
