Sunday School 2026-2027

  Did you register for Sunday School yet? We invite you to register for the 2026-2027 Sunday School year!

On September 13th we kick off the year with a family opening and orientation starting in the Family Life Center. Parents and kids are encouraged to do a scavenger hunt as they meet their child's teacher and find out about what is new for the year!

Registration open now for the 2026-2027 school year. Classes begin September 13th. Sunday School Classes (3yrs-8th grade) meet Sunday mornings from 9:15 - 10:15am. Children ages 3yrs - 5th grade gather in the Family Life Center for our opening then move upstairs into smaller classrooms. Children must be potty trained by September 13th in order to attend.


Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:14-17


 



Through music, stories, dramatic play and crafts, kids will hear the story of when Jesus was a boy and He went to church. Families will also get a chance to create their own "Busy Bag " for worship, gather tips, and encourage each other to help make coming to church a winning experience.

Come to this class before? We invite you back! Each session is a little different, you can pick up new busy bag items and your thoughts add so much to the conversation. Join us!

Milestones

Milestones

Faith Milestones are all about helping children, families and adults see God in their everyday!  We take common events or moments in our lives and the lives of our children to celebrate and ask God to bless them, guide them and be with them.  We hope to equip and encourage our families to see that being with God is more than just something we do on Sunday, but that God is a part of our everyday.  No matter if we are celebrating the beginning of school, learning something new or welcoming them into the family of God…all these moments are God moments.

One way to do this is through cradle roll…
