Children’s Ministries At St. Paul, many opportunities await all God’s children including educational programming, mission projects, fellowship time, choirs, hand bells, special events, play groups, and many other rewarding experiences.
Children’s Sunday School – 9:45 a.m. Sunday School is taught by a group of warm, loving, and enthusiastic teachers. Our goal is to provide lessons at each appropriate age level in order to help children develop a respect, love, and understanding of the Bible. Birth through two years learn through stories, songs, art activities, and many other age appropriate learning experiences.
The pre-school aged children participate in the Cokesbury curriculum, Exploring Faith, as a base. Exploring Faith provides lessons covering age appropriate stories from both Testaments which are paired with carefully selected learning activities and projects. Kindergarten through Fifth grade participate in an innovative rotation model. We use the Power Xpress curriculum from Cokesbury. The lessons are based on a five week rotation. Each of the five weeks various lessons are based on the same Bible story or concept. Each week, the children attend a different area such as storytelling/singing, cooking, art, dramatic play, and media. The children enjoy the transition throughout the lessons and are gaining a more concrete understanding of each rotational study. Childcare and Nursery Childcare is available for infants through three years old during both worship services, the Sunday School hour, Wednesday evenings, and special church activities. The newly renovated nursery rooms are staffed with loving, enthusiastic, and caring individuals. Sonshine Chapel We are very proud to offer a Children’s Church during the late worship service. Sonshine Chapel provides the children ages four years through third grade an opportunity to learn about worship within their own little church environment. Wednesday Evening Family Program Each Wednesday, we have several opportunities available to children. The whole church shares a fellowship meal in the Wesley Friendship Hall at 5:45 p.m. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., the children and adults break out into various sessions. The Angel Choir is made up of children three years through Kindergarten The Bethlehem Choir is made up of First and Second grade children The Carol Choir is made up of Third through Fifth grade children Children’s Bible Study This new Wednesday evening program provides an opportunity for children Kindergarten through Fifth grade to participate in an active and multi-sensory approach for Bible Study. Vacation Bible School VBS is held each summer at St. Paul. The children experience the Bible through Bible stories, crafts, worship, music, and recreation. |
