Children's Ministry
Sunday School
Sunday school is offered for children ages 3-5, 1st and 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th and 5th grade.
Our Sunday school curriculum for 2020-2021 is Celebrate Wonder. In our class, we work to cultivate a sense of awe, imagination, and curiosity about God's world, and help shape their growing faith. Children will be engaged in spiritual practices and opportunities for reflection, while also being given a safe space to ask questions as they form their spiritual identity as children of God.
In-Person Sunday School has resumed on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. The location of each class can be found below:

Wednesday Night Alive!
Children in 5K-5th Grade are invited to join us on Wednesday nights for Wednesday Night Alive! Gatherings will include a Bible lesson, music, games, crafts, and time together. We will meet on Zoom during the winter months and while COVID-19 cases are high.
This spring, we'll continue using "Growing in God's Love: A Story Bible Curriculum" as we all grow in God's love together! Check the mail for your at-home guide and some of the materials we'll use while we meet over Zoom. Links to our Zoom meetings can be found in the church e-blasts!
If you are unable to meet with us in person, we encourage you and your child to watch our prerecorded videos at your own convenience!
