Children and Youth

We offer classes for learners from five years of age through adulthood.  Classes for children and youth are organized by grade; the grade level is determined by the student’s age as of September 1, 2011.

 

Kindergarten through grade 12 use a curriculum resource entitled "Feasting on the Word."  This is a lectionary-based curriculum integrating lesson content with worship content.
