Christian Education
Elementary Program – Christian Education for the children, depending on the age, includes familiarity of the Bible, scripture, lessons, skits, games, and various crafts. All ages participate in the opening devotion including singing and, at times, dancing. The children participate in the annual Easter and Christmas programs with singing, recitations and skits. Currently there are 3 levels of classes: 2 to 4 years old, Kindergarten through 2nd grade, and 3rd through 5th grade.
Teen Classes – The Sunday School program for the middle and high school students is a combination of various materials to ensure the teaching is current and interesting. A rotating group of teachers will choose differing topics and sources, but will always utilize scripture as it pertains to the students’ present day situations in our current world. Class and reference materials used include: TalkSheets (creative discussions for teens); bible scriptures; Top 13 Questions About God (intense discussions for youth ministry); Wild Truth Bible Lessons; Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling Youth; Tough Questions and Tough Topics (questions that take students beneath the surface); and recent box office movies with lesson plans from Videos That Teach and Reel To Real. Students also initiate and perform various community service projects to experience Jesus’ desire for us to love and serve others.
Adult Classes – World events, bible scripture, movie presentations, and varying perspectives are combined in an adult Sunday School hour that generates lively discussion and, sometimes, as many questions as answers. Ultimately, participants grow in their understanding of Jesus’ teaching as they share their thoughts and experiences. Lesson material is acquired from The Wired Word current events series, various Christian educational materials, and recent box office movies.
