A traditional Sunday school program is available for children ages 2 through grade 12. Children in grades one through four will participate in the multi-sensory Workshop Rotation Curriculum Model. Classes are designed around a curriculum that is age appropriate and ably led by persons committed to the Christian nurture of the children. We are now adding a series of Celebration Sundays for Grades 1-4 where special programs will be held during the weeks in-between rotation themes. Note the Workshop Rotation Calendar for the details on these events.
To register your child for Sunday School, save the registration form (in the Forms section) to your computer, then fill it in, save it, and either bring a hard-copy or e-mail it as an attachment it to the church office.
| Nursery | A fully-staffed nursery located at the back of the Fellowship Hall building overlooking the parking lot. It is available beginning at 9:15 a.m. through Sunday School and the Worship service. |
| Age 2 - Kindergarten | Hopping in Faith: The children learn bible stories via different media such as flannel board figures, learn the story through music, as well as create art projects that reflect the story. |
| Grades 1 - 4 | Scampering in Faith: Children participate in the multi-sensory Workshop Rotation curriculum model. Classes are designed around a curriculum that is age appropriate and ably led by persons committed to the Christian nurture of the children. Workshops include:
|
| Grade 5 | Skipping in Faith: Fifth graders delve into the rich and vivid stories of the key people and events of the Old Testament. We use the first four units The Torah, Hebrew History, Hebrew Wisdom, and Prophets. We use the "I Know My Bible" from the We Believe curriculum of the Presbyterian Church (USA). |
| Grade 6 | Jumping in Faith: Sixth graders explore the amazing life and ministry of Jesus Christ and the dynamic work of the apostles and early church after Christ's resurrection and ascension. We use the last three units Gospels, The Early Church, and Letters to the Early Church. We use the "I Know My Bible" from the We Believe curriculum of the Presbyterian Church (USA). |
| Confirmation Class (Grades 7 and above) |
Walking in Faith: Open to those in seventh grade and older, this class prepares youth for membership in the PC(USA). Beginning in September, interested youth meet monthly for fellowship and faith reflection. A year long program offers youth time to explore the history of the Presbyterian faith, provides mission experiences within the congregation, and fosters the development of individual faith stories. |
| Grades 8 - 12 (Youth Class) |
Running in Faith: Students are encouraged to share their opinions as they reflect on important
ethical questions and current events. "Ethics in Action" utilizes the
dynamic curriculum prepared by the PBS program "Religion and Ethics
Newsweekly." Teens in eighth grade through high school have a forum to learn
about and discuss what people in the United States and around the world are
saying and doing in response to issues such as Islam, natural disaster
relief, religious conflict, end-of-life issues, and religion and politics.
Engaging interviews, news clips, and background information are included in
the DVD or videos and materials. Pastor Rosanna was recently interviewed for an article about this program by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. |
We began using the Workshop Rotation Model for Sunday School curriculum in 2003. The 6 Year scope provides the details of lessons from 2003/2004 through 2008/2009.
