CHILDREN & Youth MINISTRY

We take our calling to nurture Young People in faith seriously:

Sunday School

We have two weekly Sunday School classes during the program year (Sept-June). The younger class is roughly ages 4-2nd grade and the older class is roughly 3rd-6th grade. The younger class uses Young Children in Worship and Godly Play curriculum, which are Montessori-style curricula designed to help children engage the biblical stories with wonder and curiosity. The older class uses Shine: Living in God’s Light curriculum, which aims to help students connect their faith with their daily lives.

Youth

We offer confirmation class any time there is a cohort of youth (typically grades 7-10.)

We also offer a monthly Sunday School (2nd Sundays) for youth who have been through confirmation class.

Safety

All our Sunday School teachers have PA clearances for working with children. We staff the nursery with two background-checked adult caregivers. Our Sunday School classes meet across the hall from one another so a second adult is nearby. Teachers are not alone 1-on-1 with children or youth.
