Sunday School
At St. James the Children’s Ministry Teams’ mission is to provide a Christ centered environment which will encourage children to learn about Jesus in many different ways. Children will enjoy hearing stories using the Godly Play curriculum with quality materials or occasionally using homemade materials for Bible stories not included in the Godly Play curriculum. Children will participate in sing-a-longs, crafts, or games to support the lesson for the week. We want your child to feel accepted, loved, and safe while in their Sunday School class each week.
Sunday School Class for preschoolers through 3rd grade begins at 10:30 am. Children will be brought into the church to sit with their parents after the sermon, so they may receive communion together.
Sunday School for grade 4th through 8th is between our 2 services, from 10 to 10:30 am. We do this so that the older children and tweens have a chance to participate, and to serve at either the 9 am or the 10:30am service. They can serve as helpers in the younger Sunday school classroom, as ushers, readers, etc. This older Sunday school class spends time studying the bible and how it reflects and directs everyday life.
One of our objectives for children's ministry over the next year, is to grow in both children and volunteers, so that we may offer a 9am Sunday school class as well.
