Grades 7 & 8

Grapple Logo We have completely new curriculum for our 5th-6th grade and 7th-8th grade classes this year. Youth Bible lessons that connect! No matter where your junior highers are in their spiritual journey, they all have one thing in common—an inquisitive mind with an overwhelming desire for real relationships. They need Grapple®—the Sunday school curriculum that plunges them into the Bible to get answers to their biggest questions about God, others, and themselves.

Youth Bible lessons that fit! Grapple Sunday school curriculum delivers Bible truth in a way that speaks their language! Bible lessons that prompt your junior highers to dig into the Bible. PLUS, they’ll enjoy an online community created just for junior high kids where they’ll find games, forums, weekly challenges, a place to create their own identity, and more!

Children's Ministry- Pre-K through 12th Grade

We have many on-going programs for youth of all ages. Musical Sunday School is available during the school year for Pre-K through 12th Grade. Classes normally meet at 9:30am on Sundays. Summer Camps are available, check out one of the brochures at church. Vacation Bible School is held every year in August. Children's Choirs are open for all levels. We have three specific choirs for kids: the Sonshine Choir is for age 3-1st grades, the Joyful Noise Choir is for 2nd-5th grades, and the Youth Choir is open to 6th-12th graders. We also hold two Christmas Productions in December. There is a Sunday School Christmas Program (pre-school-5th grade). The second program is a musical put on by the youth choir (6th-12th grade). The older youth also usually travel to a nursing home and put on the presentation for the individuals there. In the spring we will have our Spring Musical. This will be put on by our Joyful Noise Chior (2nd-5th grade).

Please contact Mary Michener for information on these offerings, (763) 441-2750.
