Children's Program
|
   |
 It
is the goal of our Children’s Ministries to support parents in
their pledge to guide, teach, love, and care for their children
in the Christian faith. Through a variety of activities, we
encourage children to grow in their relationship with God and
provide opportunities to enhance their sense of belonging as a
part of the Christian community. The children learn that each
is valued for who they are and treated with love, dignity, and
respect.
Children are a blessing to all of us!

Sunday School for Children
(Age 2½ thru 6th
Grade)
|
|
We are currently using a
rotational curriculum in our Sunday morning classes for
children. In a rotational learning setting, the same Bible story
or theme is taught for several weeks. Each week, learners rotate
to a different station. The story or theme remains the same, but
the children encounter it in different ways in each station.
Repetition is an important part of the rotational learning
style. The variety of experiences keeps interest high throughout
the unit. Teachers teach the same lesson, with age-level
adjustments, for the length of the rotation. The curriculum
uses art, computers, cooking, games, music, science,
storytelling and video in the various stations.

Summer Camps and Retreats
|
|
The United Methodist Church supports camping and retreat
ministries for children of all ages. The goal of these
ministries is to offer ways to gain a greater awareness of God's
love, to develop an appreciation of sanctuary in God's creation,
to experience renewal and regeneration, to make new friendships
and experience a deepened faith. Please visit
http://gocamping.org/ for more information. |
