Mission
Statement
The Christian Education
Ministry will provide a program with the opportunity for all to
study the Scriptures, history and heritage of Christianity and the
Episcopal Church and to have Christian fellowship at all levels. In
addition to the study of the Scriptures, the church school curriculum will
include care of young children, worship experience in the chapel, and an
opportunity for learning Christian music as well as the experience of being a
part of a Christian community. The
curriculum of the youth communities will enable each young person to become a
mature, responsible and active Christian. There will be time for study,
service and fellowship. The
adult education curriculum will be multi-faceted, with study of the Scriptures,
Christian heritage and timely issues. The Christian Education Ministry
will cooperate with other ministries in presenting programs. The
Ministry will be responsible for recruiting and training church school teachers,
chapel leaders, youth community leaders and adult leaders.

Curriculum Nursery
~ Infants to 3 years
This
group will enjoy a program with play and activities suited to
their levels. Infants
up to 3 years old will be cared for in a loving, safe environment
with age-appropriate toys and stories.
Living
the Good News ~ Pre-K to 8th grade
Living
the Good News is a lectionary-based
curriculum published for the Episcopal Church by Morehouse
Publishing. The
lesson each Sunday for each grade level is focused on the Gospel
lesson and the other appointed Bible readings for the day.
Using crafts, games and group activities, each child is
invited into the loving presence of God made known through the
Word. Our Episcopal
heritage is shared through experiencing the liturgical seasons and
exploring The Book of Common
Prayer. Take-home
materials highlight the lesson of the day and provide the
opportunity for parents and children to reflect together on the
readings each have experienced during the course of Sunday
morning. A real
strength of this curriculum is the diversity represented in the
curriculum graphics. Children
in classes Pre-K – 3rd Grade will also hear the Word
in the liturgical setting of the Children’s Chapel.
Children in the older grades will share in hearing the
lessons read during worship and hearing the sermon each Sunday.
