Our Sunday School uses Group Publishing's FaithAlive curriculum. All the kids from Toddlers through 5th grade explore the Bible through lessons that are REAL (Relational, Experiential, Applicable, and Learner-based). This curriculum is designed to open up the classroom to interactive learning, so that the students can build strong relationships with each other, teachers, and parents through the Word of God. Activities in the lesson help them experience the verse as well as hear it.

Our teachers are volunteers who love kids and Jesus. They're trained by our Children's Ministries' Director and Sunday School Board. As part of this training, they are CORI'd to ensure that church is a safe, loving place for our kids.
