Our Youth Programs

Sunday School

Sunday School

We have Sunday school classes for Pre-K 3 through High School (and adults). Sunday school meets from 9:00 a.m., with an opening in the sanctuary, until 10:00 a.m. Each class is taught by volunteers who offer fun activities and TLC while teaching the children about the word of God.

Youth Groups

DOGS ICE

D.O.G.S (Depending on God for Support) is for kids ages 5 through 10.

I.C.E. (In Christ Everlasting) is for young people ages 11 through 17.

Our Youth Leaders

ICE -- Kate & Kurt Baumann

D.O.G.S. -- Diane Bursey & Laurie Freshour

The youth groups have different activities where they can interact in a wholesome manner with other children their age. They also participate in intergenerational activities that benefit our church as well as our community.

Children's Chapel

Childrens Chapel

On the first four Sundays of each month the children are excused from the regular worship service during the sermon to attend a service geared for their age. The I.C.E. youth group members lead this worship time through stories, puppets and songs.

Confirmation Class

Confirmation Class

Confirmation classes are offered on the first and third Sundays of most months at 3:00 p.m. Check the weekly bulletin and newsletter for schedule. Please notify the pastor if you have a child eligible for confirmation.

The theme for our confirmation studies this year is Here We Stand. Our students have access to a website where they can get their lessons, homework, play challenges and games, etc. Click the Here We Stand logo below to get a sample look at the website the confirmation students are using.
