Thank you!!!

We would like to thank all of the Shepherds and parent volunteers that helped to make this Sunday School year such a success!  We truly couldn't have done it without you. 

Thank you Joel, Amy, Jennifer and Nathan for providing opening each Sunday.

I would also like to thank the Design Team members for designing and gathering all the materials necessary for each lesson on Sunday morning.

See you in September!

Design Team

    The design team is a group of people who works to design the lesson plans for Sunday school.  We use many resources to come up with ideas and lessons for the kids.  We also gather supplies for the shepherds each week and make sure they have a copy of the lesson plan.  We love what we do!  If you have any questions about Sunday school or would like to help out, just let one of us know!

We offer Sunday School for PreK-6 graders September through May.
We have a bible presentation for 3rd graders in the fall of the Sunday School year.
4th graders receive Communion instruction and celebrate their 1st Communion in the spring of the Sunday School year.
5th & 6th Graders receive acolyte training and are asked to volunteer as acolytes during worship services.

First Communion

Faith believes all baptized believers in Christ are welcome to the Lords’ table.  Communion instruction formally begins with the pastor instructing 4th graders about communion during the Lenten season. However, a child younger than 4th grade may commune if 3 criteria are met:

  • The child expresses a sincere interest in receiving the sacrament.
  • The parents agree to the child's request.
  • The pastor meets with the child (and/or parents) to verify the child's sincere request.

Many children come to our congregation already receiving communion prior to 4th grade.  We do not make the child stop taking communion but simply ask that the pastor be informed of the situation.
