Christian Education for Children and Youth
“Faith Walk” is the theme for our elementary Sunday morning classes. We use the Rotation workshop model to experience a different Bible story or theme each month. The children learn by rotating among Marketplace Art, Bread of Life Café, Red Sea Cinema, From BC to PC computers, Journey of Life Temple, and Crossroads Drama. Elementary students meet for a short opening in the old Fellowship Hall, where an offering is taken before they are dismissed to their classes. Parents should check the Faith Walk bulletin boards to see weekly class assignments. Click here to learn more information about the rotation model.
Children are always welcome in worship. We provide ways for them to participate, such as the Word for Children, helping to greet, worship bags to enhance worship, serving as acolytes, and other leadership opportunities. Children in first grade participate in a special series on worship. Preschool children have the opportunity to participate in TIC TOC (Together in Christ, To Gather Our Children). TIC TOC is in the Lingle Chapel during worship from 11:15 to 11:35.
Summer Vacation Bible School is four mornings during the summer, often in July. The theme alternates between a Marketplace format and a service/mission format. With Marketplace, we recreate the time of Jesus in Jerusalem, complete with animals, drama and market crafts. With service/mission, we learn about such projects as Habitat for Humanity and medical missions.
