Children's Sunday School Classes


Beginning to Live Big

Children can join an adventure to Live B.I.G, where children hear, see and live their belief in God. After children's moments, at both services, children will be going to room 116 for a B.I.G. lesson based on 3 B.I.G. truths.

" God is a great Big God
" God loves us with a great big heart
" We are part of God's great big world.

Live Big is a time for children (ages 3 - 2nd grade) to come to know the love of God through Jesus. It includes music, art, theater, dance, laughter, sign language, discussion, imagination, sights, sounds, hands-on activities, games, crafts, Bible stories, prayer, worship and more.

Volunteers are always needed at 1st and 2nd service to make this wonderful program a success. If you are interested in volunteering, or would just like more information, please contact Sarah Campbell. More information can also be found at ilivebig.com.


The Good Shepherd class, meeting in room 314, is for 3 year olds to kindergartners with an introduction to the Good Shepherd curriculum.


1st to 3rd graders are welcome to Camp 1st Light, a fun camp format curriculum. Each week they will be singing around the camp fire, exploring God's word and world, and learning life lessons. (room 301)


Grades 4th - 6th are using the Grapple curriculum. They grapple with life's tough questions in meaningful ways to help them own their faith. They have the opportunity to explore the lessons on their own safe and secure website. (room 315)
