(Adults, Youth & Children)
Christian
Education at First Church has something
for everyone from age 2 – 102.
Sunday School isn’t just for kids anymore …
see the classes listed below to find what fits for
you!
|
Sunday School Classes: 9:30 – 10:30 A.M.
Preschool – 2nd Grade:
This class learns about and experiences God through Old
Testament Bible stories and characters using multi sensory
learning activities. Curriculum includes music, prayer,
crafts, games, dramatic expression and more to help children
understand God’s love.
3rd thru
5th Grade:
This class returns to The Frog Pond for a faith filled
journey through Old Testament stories to learn about the
connections between faith and life. The curriculum will keep
this group engaged through games, arts, storytelling,
missions and more.
6th thru
9th Grade:
The curriculum – The Way of Pilgrimage – helps us discover
together that our spiritual growth is a life long journey.
The purpose is to create settings in which youth can listen
for and respond to God’s call and develop a stronger, deeper
relationship with God – as individuals, members of a small
group, and as part of a community of faith. This curriculum
is the foundational material for Confirmation.
10th
thru 12th Grade:
This Senior High class is structured as a peer group – youth
led and directed. The group will use life experiences, faith
questions, and teen issues to direct the content and focus
of their discussions that will lead to greater encouragement
and spiritual foundation. They will learn to function as a
small covenant group.

Bible study, little bit of a book study, and a
little bit of good, old conversation. While each of
us are on our own path, we have a common bond of
building our relationship with God to begin our
spiritual journey, awaken a spiritual life that has
gone dormant, or to strengthen our spiritual walk.
Bible Study w/Pastor Jamie
Wednesdays, 4:30 PM – Parlor
Our church uses the Revised Common Lectionary to
order our worship experience, so this class looks at
the biblical texts for the upcoming Sunday. Part is
spent exploring the history of the lectionary as
well as talking about our personal experience of the
texts. The class is open to all and has a “drop-in”
format that does not require advance preparation.
The intent is to enhance the Sunday worship
experience by providing an experience of listening
to, and living with, the text prior to attending
worship.
