Village: Where the Bible comes Alive!, our Sunday School
program for kindergarten through fifth grade,
meets during the 10:15 worship service on Sunday mornings. This
curriculum teaches Bible stories using the various intelligences as the
basis of learning. Each week, the children may be learning a
Bible story through storytelling/drama, art, computers, movies, or
games. We believe this approach will bring the Bible stories to
life as they are experienced through these different methods.
This
is a rotation model where they attend a
different station each
week. Children learn through computer games and
activities in
"Cyber Cove; they listen to stories and act them out in "MasterPeace Theater"; they
reinforce what they have learned through games in "Activity Alley"; they watch a
movie in "Holywood Cinema"; and they express their creativity in
"Thou Art".
 Our Pre-School Sunday School (ages 2-4) incorporates play time as well as mini Bible stories and crafts. The teachers are dedicated to our church children, and they have a strong faith to share with their class. (top) Senior High Fellowship is for youth in grades 9-12. These youth help collect and deliver food within the community during our Thanksgiving Food Drive. Sr. High cooks for Shrove Tuesday Dinner, and they host numerous fund raisers throughout the year to help plan for their annual Work Tour Mission Trip each summer. This past year, 8 youth went to Harlan County Kentucky for a week and had the experience doing things like repairing a roof, putting siding on a building, and painting. We believe Sr. High Fellowship helps youth build confidence in themselves, teaches the reliance on others as they work as a team, and gives the youth a safe place to ask questions and discuss their journey as Christians in today's society. (top) Junior
High Fellowship meets
on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 4:00 p.m. and includes
children in grades 6-8.
Our program year begins the Sunday following Labor Day and usually ends
in late May. Junior High meets twice a month on Sunday afternoons
for an hour. Our traditional events are: helping collect food for
our community food drive; helping to serve dinner for our annual Shrove
Tuesday pancake dinner; and a yearly weekend retreat at the end of the
year. The youth help plan other activities throughout the program
year. We feel that Junior High Fellowship gives the youth a safe
place to learn more about their role as Christians within their
community and beyond. (top) Youth
Choir rehearsal is every Sunday from 9:00 until 10:00
a.m. First
grade through twelfth grade students are welcome.
