Children’s Sunday School gathers in the Ignite Kids' area (formerly God’s Garden) every Sunday morning beginning at 9:30 a.m. We begin our time all together to say hello and to hear what exciting lessons we will be covering that day. We then divide into 3 classes of the following divisions:
Pre-school (ages 3-4 years) This class meets in Rainbow Hall and age appropriate Bible lessons are taught from both the Old and New Testaments. Children hear and experience how much God loves each one of them. Barbara Hunt is the class leader.
Early Elementary (K-3rd grades) Children stay in the Ignite Kids' area and different rooms and areas are used to teach Biblical stories using storytelling, crafts, games and other sensory methods to explore who God is and how He wants to be the most important part of each child’s life. Different teaching styles help to reach each child’s special way of learning. Parents and adult volunteers rotate leading the class discussions with provided materials.
Pre-teens (4th-6th grades) This high energy group is introduced to Biblical ways of handling their stressful social and family situations with lessons focused on issues facing them in their everyday lives. Power Point games and lessons, current movie releases, interactive group games and discussions are utilized in the teaching curriculum to show how God loves them and is relevant in the world they are living in today. This class is facilitated by Pam Greenberg. children@fumcmv.org
