Teaching stories of the Bible and inviting children, youth, and adults to live as disciples of Christ.

Welcome to our Sunday School!

Classes are offered for preschool children through high school age youth. Childcare is available for newborn to five years old.

We are teachers of the Bible and invite children and youth to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.  Our curriculum is The Whole People of God.  Children will learn of the birth, life and death of Jesus and examine Christian virtues and values. Our church's rich Pilgrim history will also be surveyed. The children participate in the worship service for the first fifteen minutes followed by music and lessons.  A child lights the Peace Candle, collects the offering and the Celebration Can for children's missions and participates in a Children' Chat.  Children frequently draw our bulletin cover.

We are a fun and warm hearted group who love to teach, do crafts, play games and have a good time while learning about ourselves, each other, our world, God and the Christian faith.  Please join us!

Blessings to you,

Christina Williamson

Director of the Sunday School
