Sunday School
Our Children's Sunday School currently has four age groups: Preschool-PreK Discoverers- K-1st grade
Explorers- 2nd-3rd grade Navigators- 4th-5th grade
Our curriculum is from Cokesbury's PowerXpress Rotational Workshop Model. Children study one story/topic for 9 weeks moving to a different workshop each week. The 8 workshops are designed to give our children a fun and experiential way of learning about God thru various experiences: storytelling, music/movement, games, cooking, science/God's nature, art, movie, and Bible skills time. The ninth week is a celebration and review of what we learned with everyone together in the Gym (L on map) The Preschool Class remains in one room (B&E on map), but rotates to different centers in their room. This maintains the consistency they need, but still allows for different experiential learning workshops like the older children. For more information contact the Associate Pastor of Children and Youth.

Child & Youth Safety Policy
We at First Christian Church believe that children & youth should be kept as safe as possible as they learn to walk with Christ through the programs offered. As part of this effort, we ask that Parents drop off/pick up from the appropiate Children's Area. If you would like to have a copy of our Church Protection Policy, you may receive one from the secretary during regular business hours. Or view a full copy on the bulletin board in the narthex.
