EDUCATION

 

Position Opening for:

Director for Ministry with Children and Youth

 

 

Pre-K and Kindergarten

This class uses an innovative curriculum entitled “God's Children Sing" which combines music, story and action to engage even the youngest children in the Bible and their faith. Children sing and play instruments, dance and talk about favorite scripture stories. 

 

1^st- 3^rd Grades

This class uses "Godly Play” as its curriculum.  Godly Play is a Montessori based, story telling technique that draws children into a weekly Bible story or church lesson. The leader uses wooden figures and simple but beautiful set pieces to tell stories, and children are invited to re-tell  the story during the class. "Art response" gives the children an opportunity to embrace the lesson. A small worship service at the end of the class ties the experience together.

 

4^th – 6^th GRADES  AND  7^th& 8^th Grades

The fourth through sixth and seventh and eighth grade classrooms use "Living the Good News". This is a lectionary-based curriculum written for these specific age groups. Through activities, skits, artwork, and Bible study, the students engage the readings of the day in creative and thought-provoking ways. High School students use "Living the Good News" as a jumping off point for their own creative activities and discussions, often using video and other media to explore the ideas presented in class.
