Parish Education: Learn and Grow Together

At our church, we take pride in our Parish Education program. We offer Sunday School classes for children to learn about the Bible and our faith, as well as preparation for their First Communion and Confirmation. Our experienced educators provide a nurturing and supportive environment for children to develop their spiritual identity and understanding.

Sunday School

Sunday School is open throughout the year for children aged pre-school through 6th grade. Sunday School coincides with the 9:30am Divine Service. Children begin in church and are dismissed for their classes following the readings.

Arts in Mission

As a part of our commitment to the instruction of children in the faith at their baptism, music and art has, through the ages, been used to share and instruct God’s people in the faith. This program involves children in developing singing and music making skills, reading music, and playing handbells, to reinforce and further those skills. Applying what they have learned, the children participate monthly in the 9:30am Divine Service at St. John’s, prior to their departure for Sunday School. A visual arts segment is also in the works.  More about that to come!
