Sunday School

Will you be responsible for seeing that the child you present is brought up in the Christian faith and life?

--from Baptismal vows taken by parents in The Book of Common Prayer, p. 302

We take on a great role when we raise children. We take on an even greater responsibility when we vow to raise a child with faith. While the most crucial work is done by those who love and care for them at home, nurturing and grounding children in the Christian life takes a church community. Christ Church is here to help. Our Sunday school program is a touchstone of Christian education and community for the life of our children.

Sunday School Curriculum:

The pre-school classes (three’s and four’s) will follow the Montessori style curriculum, Godly Play. This program presents scripture stories through interactive storytelling that encourages children to explore their faith in a way that is playful and meaningful to them.

Our Kindergarten class will use the Episcopal Children’s Curriculum.

First through fifth grades will use the WorkshopCycles program; an innovative way to experience Sunday school that focuses on the spiritual development of children while providing exciting activities to engage a new level of learning and retention. WorkshopCycles follows a Rotation Model which means children will work on the same story or concept for six weeks, using different learning approaches in each workshop. The workshops for our first unit are art, drama, movie, story & games, kitchen, and music.

Youth in grades six through eight will have a Sunday school class tailored to their interests.
