Radical Commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and to Each Other: To His Worship, His Word, and His Mission.
|
6 Train
Our first and foremost mission in the children's program at Apostles is to teach children about the love of God through Jesus and the relationship they can have with Him. This is demonstrated weekly by wonderful teachers in each of our classes. We have 4 classes to offer children from ages birth through 6th grade. They each work on a separate cirriculum to teach them about Jesus and the Bible. The children are in Sunday School from the beginning of the service until the time of the Peace, when they join their family for communion and worship.
Nursery, ages birth to 2
In the Nursery, they are lovingly cared for. As they grow and get more active there are many materials and books to keep their attention. Many times they are read to and sung with and danced with as they are shown the love of God by our caring teachers.
Preschool Room, ages 3 and 4
In this room, we use the Beulah Enterprises cirriculum. Biblical stories are told by using verbal and visual expression. As the teacher tells the story, felt pieces are being placed upon a felt board for the children to see the story come to life. There is great excitement during the lesson time as they await the felt story to unfold.
Godly Play, ages 3 and 4
This class uses the Faithweaver cirriculum from Group Publishing. It's an interactive approach to learning the scriptures. Along with the Bible story and a verse for the day, kids play games, use drama, and group activities to dig deeper into God's truth. The lessons are age appropriate and fun for the teachers to bring them to life.
Hands On Bible - 3rd through 6th Grade
God's Faithweaver cirriculum is also used in this class. In each session students participate in a variety of fun and memorable learning experiences that help them understand one important point. As each activity unfolds, kids discover and internalize biblical truths. Because they are doing, instead of just listening, kids remember what they have learned.
