Loving, experienced workers care for your little ones while you attend Sunday School and worship services. We have cribs, playpens, and age-appropriate toys to make your youngster’s experience an enjoyable one. Cribs and toys are sanitized after use.

Preschool (3–5 Years)

Each session provides the children an opportunity for free play followed by a Bible story, singing, and art activities. Foot Steps (CRC) is the curriculum used. The students are encouraged to attend the worship service for the children's story and to return to the classroom with the extended-hour teacher.

Children’s I (Grades 1 and 2)

This group enjoys learning about God’s world, Jesus, and the Bible through active participation in learning activities. The curriculum is Foot Steps, published by CRC.

Children’s II (Grades 3–5)

This group likes to call themselves the Bible Bunch because emphasis is place on learning the Bible. The students learn the divisions and books of the Bible so that they can find and read scriptures referred to in their lesions from Formations, by Smyth and Helwys. They also learn about our church, its worship services, and its various programs and mission projects.

Middle School (Grades 6–8)

Teachers are concerned with meeting the spiritual, emotional, and social needs of this age group. Students learn to relate the scriptures to real life situations through role-playing, art, lecture, and discussions and are encouraged to participate in mission projects, a summer service retreat, and social activities. The lessons are from Intersections, by Smith and Helwys.

High School (Grades 9–12)

Each Sunday the group shares concerns, studies the Bible, and prays together. Students regularly have assignments to help with Sunday Morning activities by preparing skits, making drawings, or leading small group discussions. The lessons are from Intersections, by Smith and Helwys.
