We have Sunday School at the 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services for children ages 4 years through the 5th grade. Both classes begin in the sanctuary and, after Pastor Don leads the children's homily, the children are led to their Sunday School class by their teacher.

Nursery – 5th Grade

Nursery Care Available!
If your little one is too young for church or Sunday School, consider our nursery care. Our loving teachers will keep them safe and happy while you enjoy church services. The teachers will bring the tots into church for the children's homily and, if you like, you are welcome to get your child for a special blessing during Communion.

Sunday School
Children ages 4 years through 5th grade are invited to attend Sunday school at the 9:35 a.m. and 11 a.m. services.

Sunday School is filled with Bible stories, crafts, music, drama and fun projects, helping children understand God’s everlasting love for them.

Our Sunday School also maintains a very active service ministry such as a backpack drive for two elementary schools, collecting shoes and socks for those in need, participating in Operation Christmas Child and making 250 sack lunches each month for our church Sandwich Ministry.

Christmas pageants, Vacation Bible School, and a summer Christian day camp are also part of our dynamic, loving children’s ministry.

During that time your child will hear bible stories, do related crafts and learn bible verses. If you have any questions, please contact Les Dahl 335-9118.
