Celebrating God's Love, Serving in Jesus' Name

Children's Sunday School


Live The Good News

All ages from age two through grade six use the ELCA's  Witness curriculum.  Witness teaches kids to learn from the Bible to live the Good News.  Witness 
focuses on the themes of Word, faith, and service, with the goal of encouraging learners to KNOW the Word, GROW in faith, and SHOW service.  Our salvation story is a story of God's gifts of Word, faith, and service. 

Crib and Toddler
Child care for pre-two's during Sunday School is provided for parents who teach or participate in classes.  Located in the lower level of the main church building.

Age Two
Our youngest class enjoys the warmth of God's love through activities designed for  this special age group.  Located in the Nursery 2 room in the Education building.

Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten
Age-appropriate colorful leaflets and fun activities tell and reflect the stories of
God's love for us.  Located in Nursery 3, 4 and Kindergarten in the Education
building.

Grades One Through Six
Children in these grades meet in individual classes in our Education building.  Grade 3 children receive their own copy of the Bible as their reading skills are developing.  Children in grade 5 study the Lord's Supper in preparation for receiving their First Communion.  All children may participate in lively Bible study and faithful relationships with other children and adults to help them KNOW, GROW, and SHOW!

Grades Seven and Eight
Located in the "Upper Room" of the Youth Building, youth in 7th and 8th grade
receive catechetical instruction each Sunday morning.  Using the "Here We Stand" curriculum, confirmation classes lay the groundwork for the continuing faith development of our youth as disciples of Jesus.  These classes include an overview of the Bible and Martin Luther's "Small Catechism" in preparation for confirmation on Pentecost of the 8th grade year. 

Grades Nine to Twelve:
Youth continue their Christian Education through Bible study, discussion and exciting activities from the FaithWeaver Senior High curriculum.  Located in the Youth Room on the third floor of the Youth Building.
