The Church School runs September through June for over 200
children, three-year-olds through 8th grade. Over 50 caring
volunteer teachers (both adults and teenagers) make our Church
School a warm and happy place for children to learn about the
Bible and God’s love for them.
Children attend the beginning of worship in the Meetinghouse with
their families unless there is a special program. After the
passing of the peace, the children and teachers go to their
classrooms. Within the classrooms, there are various types of
worship and fellowship, including singing, making crafts, reading
stories, discussing the Bible and other ideas, and enjoying each
other’s company. In June, the classes plan and participate in the
Church School Celebration Sunday worship service in the
Meetinghouse.
Gather Round is the curriculum used for our four-year-olds
through sixth graders. Gather Round is a Bible-based
curriculum which aims to nurture children and youth in their faith
formation by helping them know, love, and follow God, by engaging
them in the language and habits of worship, by respecting them as
partners in ministry, and by encouraging them to engage directly
with scripture and outreach. The children in the three-year-old
class uses lessons from Bible Lessons for Toddlers.
