The Sunday School program teaches the children about Jesus through lessons, music and crafts. Sunday School is offered for ages three through adult.

We start at 9:45 each Sunday morning, in the chapel for children up through 4th grade, and in your classroom for 5th grade and up. 

We have classes for children ages 3 through adult.

Adult Education Update
Our Adult Education Class meets each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in the Memorial Hospitality Room off the Sanctuary. Please come and join us as we continue to grow in our relationships with the risen Christ!

Senior Youth Group
The Senior Youth Group offers opportunities for spiritual growth and social interaction for youth grades 7 through 12. The group meets as needed for planning and then again each month for a program or mission activity and sometimes just a fun event or outing. Every year, usually in the summer, the Senior Youth Group takes part in a week-long work project as volunteers in mission.

Cherub Choir and Junior Bells 
We joyfully announce the addition of the Cherub Choir (age three through second grade) and a children’s handbell group called Junior Bells (third grade through seventh grade).  We hope to see all of our younger children participate !

Cherub Choir will start later this fall; you will receive more information in the near future.


Beginning Bells 

Any child interested can contact Bea Mooney. This choir will typically rehearse each Sunday morning at 9:15 am (before Sunday School). Check with Bea Mooney for a complete schedule. If you are currently in grades 3 - 7, come join us for a fun time of praising God through music!

Child Care Coverage
Each Sunday morning during worship Child Care is provided during the worship service. The child-care room is located in the CE wing of the building. Children under age eight are welcome in the child-care room. Please contact an usher if you would like help getting to the child-care room on Sunday morning. If you would like to volunteer to help watch children during the worship hour, please sign up on the sheet outside the nursery or contact Gia Cantwell at 746-3611.

Weekly Men's Breakfast And Bible Study
The Wednesday morning Men’s Breakfast and Bible Study Group continues to meet every Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. in the Conference Room. The time begins with a hot breakfast together and finishes with about 30 minutes of Bible Study, concluding at about 7:30 a.m. We read the Scripture together and then share our insights about how God is speaking to us and to our time through these ancient texts. We all enjoy being together! It would be even better if you joined with us!

All men of the church and community are welcome to attend this group. You may join at anytime!

Adult Education  

An Adult Sunday School Class was added to our Sunday morning Christian Education schedule last fall. This class meets from 9:45 – 10:30 a.m. in the Memorial Hospitality Room. You may join the class at any time! Once again Ken Schermerhorn and George Thompson lead the study. We’re grateful for their willingness to step back into leadership roles. Class will resume this fall on Sunday mornings. Watch for more information for this great opportunity to deepen your understanding of our Christian faith.

Please join us then and bring a friend!
