All Preschool and Kindergarten students will enjoy the ROCK SOLID curriculum by Cokesbury |
Cokesbury's Children’s Sunday school curriculum, Rock Solid, has been constructed from the bottom up to provide a fun and biblically sound curriculum. At each age level on every Sunday, children will be invited to a faith experience. It is during this time that they can come to a better understanding of God and what God calls them to do and be. Activities, crafts, stories, and games all contribute to this learning experience.

All students in 1st – 4th grades will enjoy Power Xpress Rotation style curriculum. |
Ideal for churches to use in early and middle elementary aged classrooms, the rotation format is designed to allow students to rotate between learning stations each week. It engages children in each Bible story by using a combination of learning stations in the rotation: Arts and Crafts, Games Centers, Music, Science Labs, Storytelling and DVD presentations.
During our first month of rotation we will cover the story of THE PEACEMAKERS.
The Peacemakers unit uses the Bible story included in Genesis 29-33; 1 Samuel 25:2-35; and Matthew 5:9.
Throughout the Bible, we read stories of people who tried to bring peace and justice to all of God's people. In this unit, we will look at Jacob and Esau, Amos, Abigail and David, and the Beatitudes. Their stories inspire us and help us learn how to be peacemakers today.

Our 9:00am 5th grade class will use curriculum designed for ‘tweens’.
This material comes with individual FAITHZINE magazines for the students that help tie our current culture to biblical scripture lessons. |
Tweens are fifth and sixth graders, predominately 10 to 12 year olds. Tweens are going through lots of changes: hormonal, social, even in the school environment. Though eager to fit in with their peer group they still want and need the guidance of adults, both parents and mentors.

The 9:00am 6th grade class will use curriculum called SPARK…Activate Faith. The 10:30am 5th/6th grade combined class will also use SPARK. |
With Spark, young people will open their Bibles each week and engage in Scripture. Spark lessons are designed to engage students in active learning. Age-appropriate lessons designed for multiple intelligences reinforce key points of the stories and help students get more out of Sunday school, no matter what their learning style may be.

The 9:00am middle school class that includes 7th and 8th grades will be working with a series called Middle School TALKSHEETS |
TalkSheets are one-page reproducible handouts with provocative questions in a compelling design that will get kids talking and thinking about the Bible--and how its principles affect their daily lives
Each TalkSheet comes with detailed information and suggestions for Sunday school teachers, Bible references galore, Internet resources, further group exploration, and activities to pursue during and after class time.
We will observe student attendance numbers and will add a middle school class with a teaching team to the 10:30am Sunday school hour when more than two students are able to attend.

The 9:00am High School class will follow the High School TALKSHEETS curriculum. |
Our high school class enjoys a pancake breakfast
each Sunday morning in class and they meet
in the church library on the main floor. JOIN US!
