Sunday School Program:
Sunday School currently runs from the weekend after Labor Day, in September, through the end of May. Classes, preschool – 8th grade, meet during the 11 am service in the divided classrooms in the Fellowship Hall. The high school class (9th – 12th graders) meets during the 9:30 am service due to many of the students being involved with the Worship Team during the 11 am service.
Classes:
Preschool Class (3-5 yrs. old; students must be three years old by August 1st)
Parents can rest assured that students will have a lot of fun exploring the Bible with their very energetic and creative teacher, Lisa Jundi.
1st/2nd Grade Class
Students can expect to have a great time exploring the Bible, memorizing Bible verses and learning how to discuss the stories and verses. This class is team-taught, on a monthly rotation, by Janice Hare and Carol Reynolds.
3rd/4th Grade Class
Students will love exploring the Bible with their teacher, John Ference , who always brings a creative and unique spin to his presentations.
5th – 8th Grade Class
Students can expect to learn a lot about the Bible from their teacher, Chuck Hruby, who brings a real passion and joy for teaching to the classroom.
*Depending on the current gender dynamics of this age group, the students are sometimes split into two classes, with the boys staying with Chuck Hruby and the girls being taught by Melissa Yackley.
9th – 12th Grade Class
The high school students love attending Sunday school, due especially to the excellent teaching of the Scriptures by their teacher, Matt Cramer.
Other Programs:
Mission Opportunity – Our Sunday School Program, as a whole, supports a young teenage boy from Rwanda, through Compassion International. The children all work together to bring in money each week to pay for Pierre’s monthly support. We also write and receive letters to/from Pierre, which the children really enjoy!
Annual Christmas Party for Jesus - Every December we hold a Christmas Party for Jesus for all of the pre-school and elementary school-aged children. In addition to hearing the Christmas story, singing songs (including “Happy Birthday to Jesus!”), and eating Birthday cake, children get another opportunity to participate in some sort of missional project. In past years the children have participated in raising money to support overseas mission work and various local community mission opportunities.
