For grades K-6, we use professionally developed curriculum from Cokesbury entitled Live B.I.G (Belief In God). Live B.I.G. is an exciting new approach to Sunday school! It helps children see, hear, and live their Belief In God. Short video segments bring faith-filled, high-energy excitement to children with characters who are role models, travel segments to churches and missions around the country, cool music, and more. Easy-to-use lesson plans help teachers prepare well-balanced lessons.
It’s more than just a Sunday school lesson. Live B.I.G. reaches children with cutting-edge teaching tools. The multifaceted lessons help kids grow as children of God and take what they learn from Sunday school into their everyday lives. Learn more at iLiveBIG.com.
Junior High youth will relate the Bible and the messages of the Christian faith to their lives today and to the events that are shaping today's world.
Senior High youth will discuss the ethical imperatives for teens and for all Christians. They will look more deeply into their beliefs and understanding of their role in the larger world.
The Adult 1 Class is led by Charlene W. The group is studying "The Power of Forgivness" which explores this important work and reveals how forgiveness can transform your life. Meet in Room L28 (lover level, west wing). Coffee and Refreshments are served.
The Adult 2 Class is lead by Oliver C. Starting in January 2010, there will be a discussion out of the book: "Yes, Lord, I Have Sinned, But I Have Several Excellent Excuses." By James W. Moore. We will be working out of this book for 12 weeks, possibly taking a short break for Lent to discuss the last few weeks prior to the Crucifixion. Then we will return to it to finish the 12 weeks. Meet in room U22 (upstairs, near the bathrooms).
The class prepares young teens to be active and growing members of the church. You must be in 7th, 8th or 9th grade for confirmation. Those wishing to come for fellowship and service should be in 7th or 8th grade. The group ranges in number from 10 - 20, and meets on Monday nights from 6:15-7:45 p.m. during the school year in the Sr High room (L05). At the end of the 2 years, those in confirmation take part in a confirmation ceremony and become members of the church. Students are also required to have excellent attendance at Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. and one of the Sunday Worship services. The youth study Scripture one year and church history, policy and ethics the next. The class is led by Tony O., Clinton P., and Pastor Paul Armstrong.
Senior High activities are designed for those in grades 9-12. We will be meeting every 2nd Sunday from 10:30a-12p (since we will be attending contemporary service during Sunday School) There are Sr. High Weekend Retreats built around themes. The group is led by Clinton & Michelle P. and Lisa B. For a retreat schedule, please contact the Church Office. The youth also participates in a summer mission trip and local missions throughout the year.
