CHILDREN’S and YOUTH CLASSES

2s and 3s teachers: Jenn Farnsworth and Christine Salliby
Through stories about Solomon and the temple, kids will discover that church is God’s house and that God wants them to help others. They will also learn about people at church as well as how to be like Solomon and God’s people, who enjoyed going to church. Kids will find out how they can talk and listen to God because Samuel listened to God in the temple. Stories about Noah’s ark and the flood will show kids how to obey God and trust Him to keep them safe.

4s and 5s teachers: Sally Dyer and Heidi Antunes
Students will enjoy amazing stories about how Joseph saved his family, how Rahab risked her life, and how Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land. Peter fishing, Matthew collecting taxes, the Samaritan woman drawing water, and Zacchaeus climbing a tree show how Jesus reached out to people around Him. Through the faith of his great-grandmother Ruth and stories about being a shepherd, being anointed by Samuel, and defeating Goliath, David shows kids how to love God like he did.

1st and 2nd grade teachers: Rick and Joanne Boehm
Kids will discover that God not only created everything but that He also loved Adam and Eve even after they sinned. After learning about faithfulness through stories about Noah’s ark, kids will find out about Babel, the first city built after the Flood. Through Abraham, Lot, and Isaac, kids will explore faith, the danger of selfishness, and God’s provision.

3rd and 4th grade teachers: Debbie Nurnberger and Danielle Caron
Because Jesus healed others, kids will discover He still has the power to heal today. Through Esther, Jeremiah and others, kids will discover that God can be their source for guidance, courage, faith, wisdom, and love. Kids will be reminded that gifts aren’t deserved but instead show God’s love for us through stories about Jehoshaphat, the grateful leper, and the Prodigal Son.

5th and 6th grade teacher: Peter Kovacs
Through lessons about God’s nature, kids will see how He is true to His Word, keeps His promises, and provides a way for us to be in His family forever. Because what believers say and do can be a witness for or against Christ, kids will explore how they can help others gain eternal life. This introduction to the Bible focuses on its inspiration and writers, why we need it, and what it tells us about God.

Middle School and High School
The students will be studying the book, The Teenage Years of Jesus Christ: The Ultimate Pattern for Teenagers Today by Jerry Ross. Through Scripture, the students will study how Jesus himself conducted his life during his teen years and prepared for the work of His Father.
