Christian Education

We provide Christian Education for pre-school through adult after our morning worship service.  For children younger than pre-school we provide a nursery during this time.  

Curriculum: For pre-school through grade 12 we provide age-appropriate classes.  Currently we are using a curriculum published by Desiring God Ministries (John Piper’s church).   Each week after Christian Education the children gather for a few minutes to pray and hear a report on our missionaries.  This has become a favorite time for many of our children. 

Adults study a variety of topics by our pastors, elders and other qualified men.  Our classes are discussion oriented and participatory rather than a lecture. 

In the summertime we often hold an inter-generational class in the sanctuary for all ages.  This gives families an opportunity to study a topic together and often becomes a jumping off point for further discussions at home.

Family Worship:  We believe that the primary means of educating children in the Christian faith is to be done in the home.  The church’s Christian Education program is a supplement to what ought to be done in the home.  To this end we encourage regular family devotions, Scripture memorization and catechesis (memorizing the Westminster Shorter Catechism).
