Our Sunday school program uses the "Seasons of the Spirit" Curriculum. This is a Bible based resource connecting worship, learning, and service. "Seasons of the Spirit" follows the Revised Common Lectionary. Our remarkable staff of Sunday school leaders will respectfully guide your children to a better understanding of the Bible stories and lessons using this curriculum and other innovative resources. If you would like to learn more about the curriculum that we use as a resource, please visit www.spiritseasons.com

Our Sunday School Classes are organized in the following way:
Pre-School
Kindergarten
First and Second grade
Third, Fourth, and Fifth grade
Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth grade
(High school students are welcome to join us as assistant leaders.)

Preschool through
8th Grade students
are invited to start off at worship service in the sanctuary. They may come forward and hear the "Children's Message", and then follow the flock to Fellowship Hall, (through the door to the right of the pulpit), where we will share a few moments of Fellowship. From there they will join their grade level teachers and go downstairs to the Sunday School wing. Sunday School ends at the same time as worship parents; please pick up your children at their Sunday School rooms promptly after service ends.You will be asked to sign your child out. This will give the teachers time to clean up and prepare for the next week.

High School Youth
are encouraged to either enjoy the service upstairs or, join our Sunday school as a "Shepherd". This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in the Sunday school program, and help those younger than you at the same time. We would love to have you!
(If you are interested in being a shepherd
but haven't participated yet you can follow the "flock" to Fellowship Hall after the children's sermon, and tell one of the teachers that
you are interested.)

Confirmation Classes
for 9th Graders or above are also available. If you are interested please contact our Interim Pastor, Mark Seifried:

Our classes have at least two adults, windows on the doors and other safety measures in place for checks and balances.
