Education

While our student body may be small in numbers, we strive to provide instruction specific to age range. Two classes run through the regular school year that are offered prior to the worship service beginning at 9:00 am. We believe that our children participating in worship is important is important for young and old alike. The two classes offered at this time slot are:

• Middle/High School Class: this class is currently using the XP3 curriculum from the Orange program.

• Intermediate Class: this class is currently utilizing the ‘Big God, Big Questions’ program, offered as a pre-confirmation study.

For younger children, we offer a class that meets during worship. Students will join the congregation for the start of worship and then proceed to the classroom with their assigned teacher.

• Primary Class: this class is currently using the Deep Blue Connects Program Material, ‘Loving God, Loving Neighbor’.

• Pastor’s Preview: Also meeting at 9:00 am on Sundays during the regular school year is a group discussion based on the Scripture passage that the pastor will be preaching on that day. Group facilitators will share information gleaned from Bible commentaries and Pastor Sara will often stop by to give us an idea to think about or direction about the passage.

• The Gathering: This group meets via Zoom on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month beginning at 10:30 am. A variety of topics relating to faith development and understanding are offered. Past topics included John Ortberg’s video series on ‘The Soul’ and a discussion based on a video by Henri Nouwen regarding solitude.
