Youth and Children

Preschool (3-5year olds)

We offer Christian education for preschool children, ages 3-5 using Presbyterian curriculum Wee Believe Preschoolers.  The children learn Bible stories and Christian concepts through creative use of art, storytelling and play.  Caring and Experienced teachers guide children through this early learning experience. Parents are always welcome and are encouraged to sign up to help.

Kindergarten through Fifth Grades:

What is Rotation Sunday School? It is a four week study of one Bible lesson. The Kindergarten-5th grade children are broken into groups, based on grade, and rotate to different stations each week. Using the Workshop Rotation Model, children learn and experience Bible stories and Christian concepts through child-friendly multi-media such as art, dramas, music, games, food, puppets, and storytelling. This model recognizes that children love repetition and need repetition to develop a lasting memory of the content.

Youth Church School:

As Christians, we recognize the Bible as the source of what we need to know to live as God’s people. Youth Church School helps connect faith and daily living to teach students how to live and share the Good News every day!

Communion Class

Each Spring and Fall there is a class to learn about the meaning of Communion designed for children (ages 4 and above) and their parents (one parent must attend). Parents make the decision on when children are ready to participate in Communion.

Third Grade Bibles

The class learns bible skills and works on activities throughout the school year.  Bibles are presented in the spring.

Church School Library

We have a wonderful collection of books for children, youth and parents available.  Anyone of any age may check them out.  New material is added frequently.

 

Presbyterian Youth

PYA (Presbyterian Youth Association) is an opportunity for friendships to develop between middle school and high school youth. It gives the youth an open and accepting environment where youth feel comfortable asking the hard questions about faith and life. Youth challenge each other and learn to grow in their faith together. The youth meet most Sundays from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in the Youth room. Check the Learning Page Posts for current PYA activities, service projects, events, and other opportunities for youth.  Youth with adult chaperons participate in a mission trip each summer.
