| Sunday School at St. Andrew
Ministering to young people is a primary focus at St. Andrew. We seek to offer a warm and inviting environment for your children to learn about the Bible and enjoy their experience at church. We offer a full Sunday School program during both services. There is a special place for every age child at St. Andrew.
Nursery:
Paid nursery staff and church volunteers care for young children of parents attending Sunday services and adult education programs. Children are a priority at St. Andrew. As with all our programs, we strive to provide the best care, loving arms, and safe environment for our children during Sunday services. The nursery is open for newborn infants through 2 years. Our friendly nursery staff can be found in the Sunday School wing, in room 104, next to the church office.
Discovery Time:
As part of worship services each Sunday, the Director of Children’s Ministry includes "Discovery Time", bringing young members of the congregation forward for a brief discussion of important issues and the delivery of life lessons in language they can understand.
Sunday School Programs
Preschool: Children ages 3-5 (not yet in Kindergarten) meet in the preschool room (104) where a teacher greets children each Sunday Morning. The preschoolers hear a bible story, complete a craft, and have snack, and enjoy outside play time on the play structure.
School Age: Our Sunday School program is called "The God Zone". This program utilizes a rotation model to transform Sunday school into an unforgettable faith adventure. First children are greeted by their Tribal Shepherd (children are grouped into Tribes by school grade):
|
9:00am Service:
|
|
|
K/1/2- Tribe of Simeon
|
|
|
3/4/5- Tribe of Dan
|
|
10:45am Service:
|
|
|
K/1/2- Tribe of Judah
|
|
|
3/4/5- Tribe of Zebulan
|
|
|
|
Tribal Leaders meet with their groups for the first twenty minutes of each week to focus on faith development: learning key scriptures, worshiping and praying together and nurturing a heart for missions. Following tribe time children experience a new workshop each week where they delve into the Bible story through exciting learning activities that bring into play all the intelligences, allowing God’s truth to engage all the pathways to their hearts and minds.
The Workshop Zone curriculum offers eight unique and interactive workshops that explore the depths of a single Bible story.
