2 and 3 Year OldsThis is where our Sunday School begins. Birth to age two youngsters are lovingly cared for while their parents attend a Sunday School class of their choice.
A loving classroom environment permits physical growth through playtime, spiritual growth through a Bible lesson, and mental growth through listening to instructions during craft time and song time. Each child is taught many new things and will meet many new friends during the year.
The classroom study emphasis is on both Old and New Testament Bible stories. Bringing a Bible to class each week is viewed as a habit to be aquired. Each child is presented with a Bible upon leaving this department. Special activities include memory work on Bible passages such as the Lord's Prayer and the 23rd Psalm. Missionary stories are told by use of puppets. The Thanksgiving breakfast is a special event.
The Primary Department consists of 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders, supported by a staff of six teachers/supervisors and one secretary. Our goal is a three-fold mission of acquainting the children to the whole of God's Word through Bible stories and memory work, teaching them how to pray and the value of prayer and praise and participating in an active mission program. Once a year, in October, the students participate is a costume party of Bible characters. Another special event is "Parent's Day" in February.
Fourth, fifth and sixth graders study the Bible each week. There are separate classes for girls and boys. An emphasis is placed on learning Bible truths and verses. Special events include visiting missionaries, socials, and a Thanksgiving breakfast.
The Jr. high program begins with a group opening consisting of a wide variety of activities. Classes are made up of 7th & 8th grade boys and 7th & 8th grade girls. Scripture is emphasized throughout the curriculum and the students are encouraged to participate in the discussions that follow.
The Sr. high program also has a group opening format made up of various activities. The group is the divided into four classes: 9th & 10th grade boys, 9th & 10th grade girls, 11th and 12th grade boys and 11th and 12th grade girls. Each of the classes use a curriculum that is relevent to the students lives and centered on Scripture.
Mixed age group who learn as they share their life's journey and grow together in their Christian walk. Using various medium and teaching styles, they focus on applying the Bible to daily living. Our focus is to study God's Word together and share, care and pray for each other. Growing in faith and knowledge - together - in Christ.
Though primarily comprised of couples and singles in their thirties and forties, all ages are welcome. The concentration of study is the Old and New Testament presented by a team of teachers. The group supports missionaries in Germany, Camden(NJ) and Dallas(TX). Class prayer requests, praises and group prayer are highlights of their weekly hour together.
"Koinonia" means fellowship and each Sunday the members of this class share their joys and needs with an emphasis on praying for one another. This is a mixed group of mature adult couples and singles. Weekly Bible study is lef by teacher-members. Missionaries are invited to share about their exciting experiences and walk with the Lord, when available. The annual Christmas social is a highlight each year.
Though the average age of this gathering of people is over age of sixty, their excitement and zeal for God's word is vibrant. The strong Bible study emphasis is the basis of each lesson and the class as a whole supports various missionaries and contributes to many special projects and ministries.
This department includes two classes according to age and ability. Each of the "GSC" classes is staffed to meet the needs of the physically or mentally challenged. The Bible is taugh at the students' level of understanding and comprehension. Special activities and programs are planned throughout each session.
