All About: Youth Education

The goal of our youth education program is to:

EXPERIENCE the stories of our faith in a vibrant, affirming atmosphere;

EXPLORE who we are and uncover our God-given gifts;

ENJOY deep and abiding friendships with our fellow believers;

EXALT God in all that we do.

CLASS OFFERINGS

Preschool & Elementary Classes: Our elementary children learn through a rotation curriculum which presents each Bible story in a variety of ways -- through drama, storytelling and games, art and movies. Preschool students study the same topics, but enjoy a self-contained classroom in which to learn with their friends.

Junior High Class: Our Junior High class presents lessons in a multi-media fashion, incorporating music, Powerpoint slides, skits, and shared real-life experiences. The focus of this class is to apply knowledge gleaned from Bible stories to our everyday lives.

Senior High Class: This class focuses on the concerns and issues that our youth face everyday and the role faith plays in the decisions they make.

ALL CLASSES ARE OFFERED DURING CHRISTIAN EDUCATION TIME ON SUNDAY MORNINGS FROM 11 - 11:40 A.M.
