... serves children newborn to 6th grade

Our mission is to touch our world with the life-changing message of our Lord and Savior. Through developing friendships, encouraging learning, involvement of sharing, and exciting our spirit, we spread our joy with the community and beyond.

All volunteers are carefully screened before entering the classroom. Background checks, including child abuse and criminal records, are reviewed for all our helpers. We also have training throughout the year for topics like classroom management, child abuse prevention and more.

SUNDAY OFFERINGS - see our program schedule for Sundays.

SPECIAL EVENTS - in addition to the many weekly offerings, there are many seasonal events:

Rally Day - Held the Sunday after Labor Day, this event is the kick-off for the next season of Sunday School. Children advance to the next grade and new adult classes begin. It's a fun way to celebrate another year in our continuing Christian Education.
Christmas Experience - A day for children 3 years to 5th grade to experience the Christmas story brought to life. They also enjoy crafts and songs, while celebrating the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Easter Extravaganza - Children 3 years to 5th grade share in an Easter story, crafts and a special egg hunt in the celebration of our risen Lord.
Vacation Bible School - More than 200 children of every faith all over the area attend our VBS program. Held in July, VBS is a week filled with activities, including bible adventures, crafts, songs, games, snacks and fun. The week-long program runs each morning from 9:00 A.M. - noon., and culminates in a Friday Finale and a special presentation during worship services Sunday morning.
Fall Festival - A day of fun and games for families to share. Come in costume and play festival games with Biblical flair. A bounce house, food, and Cranberry Firefighters are just some of the extras you'll find.
