Church school takes place from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. As part of the church school experience we have a special gathering time which rotates activities such as music, mission projects, crafts, lessons on stewardship or other topics for the first 10-15 minutes. This meets in the Wesley Building (adjacent to the church) as is for for 3 yr. olds through 6th graders. The 2 year olds go directly to their classrooms at 9:00.
The elementary classrooms are in the Wesley Building, where parents will pick up their children after church school. The 2 yr. olds have a friendly room filled with playthings. A typical session might include music, a craft, story and snack. The 3&4 yr. olds through 4th graders use the "Rock Solid" curriculum from Cokesbury. For 2 months during the winter quarter, the 1st-4th graders study "faith basics". Over a period of 4 years, each grade group will have spent in depth study on the following topics: Learning to Use Their Bible, Worship Skills, The Sacraments, Prayer. The 5th&6th graders use the "Tweens" curriculum also from Cokesbury. The combined Jr. High and Sr. High classes use an assortment of United Methodist approved curriculum and discuss topics of relevance to their age groups. Adult classes meeting during the church school hour are listed on their own page. Child ProtectionVolunteers working with children and youth have completed a volunteer application form, had references checked and have attended a one hour course on child protection. |
