Nursery Children
through age three are cared for in the Nursery by three paid caregivers
and teenage volunteers. PreK and Kindergarten Children spend the first part of the worship service in the sanctuary with their parents or caregivers. After "a time for children," they are dismissed to Sunday school. Carol Rozmiarek takes the children to their classroom and provides a consistent and loving presence each week for the duration of the class. Volunteer teachers rotate on a monthly basis to teach the LIVE BIG curriculum that uses innovative teaching tools to share the message of God's Love. Children live out their belief in God through music, art, video, dance, theater, games and laughter. After worship, children are brought to the Barnes room for pickup. First
Grade through Fifth Grade Middle School (grades six through eight) Middle school youth spend
the first part of worship in the sanctuary. After "a time for children",
they are dismissed to Sunday School. On Sundays when Communion is served,
they stay in worship for the duration of the service. Either the Linc
or Bible Quest curriculum is used by the teacher. Both explore relevant
topics and current events using biblical teachings. Activities and discussion
are an important part of this class. High
School (grades nine through 12) High schoolers participate
in the worship service each Sunday, except during the last Sunday of each
month. On this Sunday, they may join in a discussion forum led by various
people in the church. Several resources are used to engage in topics such
as conflict, grief, decision-making, adversity, loyalty, media, wealth,
honesty, etc. No subject is off-limits.
