Our Christian Education Mission: To equip students, supplementing the religious education begun in the home, with the knowledge and tools they need to know the love and will of God, helping them to be educated in the ways of the Lord and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.

Our Curriculum

We use a variety of methods to reach all students, recognizing each individual’s learning style.

Godly Play - for our pre-k (3's and 4's) and kindergarten/grade 1; Montessori-based, story education that creates a sacred space and encourages students to be themselves, learn to live in community, come closer to the mystery of God's presence, learn the Christian language; it is a "wondering" environment. Meets in our Godly Play classrooms on second floor at 9:00 only.

Rotation Workshops - for grades 2-6; uses the multi-intelligence theory to allow each student to grasp large concepts through specific, in-depth study of a broad topic; grade groups rotate weekly to a new workshop addressing the rotation topic over four or five Sundays. Meets in vestry and on second floor.

Living the Good News - for grades 7/8; an ecumenical curriculum based on the Revised Common Lectionary. And for grades 9/10; we follow a book study format, in conjunction with the confirmation class. Classes meet on the second floor at 9:00 only.

Youth Groups

High School (9-12), Junior High School (6-8), and Middler Youth Groups (4-5) are available beginning in fourth grade. All groups meet on Sunday evenings, except when a special activity is planned. High school and junior high typically meet weekly, and middlers meet twice a month. An emphasis on fellowship and outreach allows youth to make connections with each other and the world around them.

Youth Groups will begin in September. Both Junior High and High School will meet from 6:00-7:30 at the church. Middler Youth Group 5:00-6:30 twice a month. Programs will offer a variety of fun, service, and learning that will connect us, creating a stronger community both in and out of church.
