Adult Sunday School Classes

All adult classes are open to guests, newcomers and members.  Feel free to visit a class if you are interested in a specific topic or just drop by for one class session.

  • Christian Response - Taylor Building upstairs- room 404
    Class discussions focus on specific topics as they relate to work and family life, and Christian responsibility in the community.

  • Journeys - Building M - room 133
    The Journeys class is an active, friendly class of all ages that offers lively discussions and close friendships. Curriculum focuses on the weekly Faithlink Cokesbury lesson that is sent out to members via email. Faithlink examines current news items from the perspective of biblical faith and United Methodist teaching. Journeys intersperses this series with Bible study and video series. The class sometimes strays from topic to discuss other issues of more local import. Lessons are designed to motivate us to consider our personal views on important contemporary issues and encourage us to act on our beliefs. We laugh often. Journeys is a class of ‘seekers’ that is part of the 'Reconciling Ministries Network'; ALL are welcome.

Children’s Sunday School is open, without charge, to all children ages 6 months thru Grade 5.

Children attend classes based on their age or school grade as of Sept. 1 of this year. Maps of room locations are posted by the doors around campus.

  • Nursery - Ages 6-35 months (Rooms 104-106 in hall by Sanctuary)
    Our loving caregivers teach infants and toddlers to form an awareness of themselves, their importance as a child of God and a sense of relationship to other children and adults. Lessons stimulate all the senses and emphasize God’s love and the beauty of God’s creation.

  • Enjoying God - Ages 3 thru Pre-K (Begins in Room 303 then moves to Room 300)
    Children in Enjoying God begin their Sunday School classes with 15 minutes of Cherub Choir, learning worship songs, motions and connection to the season for the Church Year.  Then, they move across the hall to a materials-rich, joyous environment especially prepared to enable them to personally discover the love of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, through story, song, and movement.

  • Godly Play – Kindergarten thru 2nd Grade
    (K meets in Taylor Room 402)
    (1st Grade in Taylor Room 401)
    (2nd Grade in Taylor Room 400)

    Godly Play is a method of Christian formation that encourages children to explore parable, sacred story, silence and liturgical action as means of becoming more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives. The welcoming class structure balances the personal and communal aspects of life in a Christian community.

  • Learning to Use My Bible - 3rd Grade (Rooms 304-305 in the Gym)
    Third Graders will spend the year exploring their new Bibles and encountering the Scriptures in a variety of enjoyable ways that will help them appreciate this treasure as a lifelong companion.

  • Pathfinders - 4th-5th Grades (Room 202-203 in Wyatt Hall)
    Designed to meet the changing developmental needs of tweens, Pathfinders encourages their growing discipleship by making timely and relative connections between Bible study, relationship with Jesus, and service to others. Tweens gain new tools for wise decision making as they prepare for Middle School.
