Nursery (Newborn–Pre-K)

Now open 7:45 AM – 11:45 AM every Sunday!
Godly Play (Pre-K – 3rd Grade)

Godly Play is an imaginative approach to using the stories of God and our faith to explore meaning, relationship, prayer, and tradition.  After a story is told using visual, tangible materials, we engage in a dialogue of wondering, to help us to understand our place in God’s story, and God’s presence in our own lives.  Afterwards, there is a response time when children take time to process and integrate the experience through art, imaginative play, or journaling.
CONNECT (4th & 5th Grade)
​

CONNECT is developed specifically for tweens! Here they journey through the Old Testament and into the New Testament, making connections between several stories each week. Every lesson has three components: See, Explore, and Make.

First we see a fun and quirky video on a key biblical topic. Then we explore our Connect Bibles–not just by reading them, we highlight and draw on them too–looking passages that relate to the theme. Afterward, we relate themes to our own lives with activities that get us making and thinking.
