1st Grade
The ABCs of God is a study for children on the greatness and worth of God. It uses the alphabet as a framework for learning the attributes of God that describe His character. Students will discover treasures in “The Blessing Box” that point to a new attribute of God each Sunday.

2nd Grade
Faithful to All His Promises is a study for children on God’s Promises. Children will discover what it means to trust in those promises. Emphasis is placed on the idea that God’s promises are a gift to us. This study begins with what a promise is, and what makes God trustworthy with these promises.

3rd Grade / 4th Grade
To Be Like Jesus!
This curriculum answers important questions about salvation and sanctification to help children understand what the Christian life is all about. Salvation comes through faith alone. God creates us to glorify Him in all we think, feel, say, and do. We were created to live in relationship with God the Father.

Students will be taught from the New City Catechism curriculum which is designed to help them learn the core doctrines of the Christian faith. Check in at 8:50 on the 5th floor!

APOSTLELOT
Twice a month from 9:50 to 10:15, 1st-4th graders go to Apostlelot: a drama presentation by members in our congregation who tell the story of a great hero of the faith. This is an anointed time, and we trust that the Holy Spirit uses these 25 minutes to go straight to the hearts of our elementary students.
