Youth Education Opportunities
Children's Sunday School (Three year olds through 5th grade) — NEW *Rotational Model* Study one subject/story for 4-5 weeks through a variety of different stations. The children are literally "in the Bible" every Sunday to look up the lesson and read it from the Bible. They work to memorize Scripture. Musical openings/closings directly relate to the Bible lesson.
Middle School (Grade 6th, 7th & 8th) — Meets in the Youth Room each Sunday morning, September through May. Jerry Irving is leading a study called "Life Lessons for Teenagers."
High School (Grades 9th through 12th) — Meets in the John Room with Dennis Philp and Dave Johnstone. Studies include topics such as "Reel to Reel," "Plunge" by Max Lucado, and some lively discussion about living your life as a Christian in high school.
