Worship Service:
We encourage our elementary students to worship with their families during our Worship Services. Each Sunday, you’ll find children’s Bibles, a bulletin, a weekly sermon quiz, and crayons for children in the Worship Center.
SMALL SAINTS Elementary Message (K – 2nd grade):
During our Worship Services, children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade can join us for a special elementary message. During the Passing of the Peace, your child will be directed to leave the Worship Center with our C3 Kids staff (look for the SMALL SAINTS slide on the big screens), and they will return after the sermon, before Communion. Be sure to check-in at the kiosk outside of the Worship Center before the service if your child plans to join us for the elementary message.
Sunday School Curriculum:
For children in Kindergarten through 3rd grade, we focus on a single passage of Scripture for the entire month. Each week, the children explore the passage in one of four workshops: Cook It, Make It, Act It, and Discover It. Using cooking, art, film, drama, science, and games, all of a child’s senses are engaged and the passage is explored using a variety of learning styles. It’s so much fun – the children don’t want to miss a single Sunday!
Using the New City Catechism as a guide, students in the 4th & 5th grade explore deep theological questions about God, themselves, and the Church in a fun and accessible way through games, activities, and discussion.
The 5th grade second semester follows the What’s Up curriculum which uses illustrations, stories, and interactive activities to help kids understand why the gospel really is good news. It answers the real questions of identity and purpose that begin to unfold in middle-school hearts and minds. Revealing God’s love, forgiveness, and power to change, What’s Up helps students understand that the gospel is all about God making us into who he meant us to be all along. As they learn how to lean wholly (and happily) on Jesus through these formative years, their lives are changed from the inside out.
