6th and 7th Grade: I Know the Bible!

The 6th and 7th grades focus on a more traditional Bible study in this 2-year curriculum. Each lesson begins with background information on the passages for the day (bios of characters, information about words or vocabulary, historical information or geographical information), followed by reading and studying the selected passages. There is Q&A opportunity and activities to reinforce the learning (art, acting, singing, writing,etc.). At the end of each unit, there is a "game day" to provide fun and review. Students participate in fun activities such as Bible Tic Tac Toe, Who Wants to be a Bible Millionaire?, Bible Pictionary, etc. 

6th Grade: New Testament

7th Grade: Old Testament 


8th Grade: Confirmation

Confirmation is an exciting adventure in the journey of faith. Our program culminates in joining the church, but also sparks lots of interesting questions and hopefully offers some answers about who God is, who we are in relation to God, why we are here, and where we are going.

We are using the PC(USA) curriculum Professing Our Faith. We will cover topics such as belonging to God, prayer, what it means to be Presbyterian, the sacraments, Jesus Christ, and Christian vocation, among others.

Confirmands also meet monthly with a mentor whom they choose from our church family. They also complete a community service project, attend a church committee meeting, write their own Statement of Faith and meet with the Session before becoming a full member of the church on Confirmation Sunday.
 


9th - 12th Grades

The Senior High class meets in its own teen-decorated Sunday school room and uses a variety of materials to keep interest and enthusiasm high. This year we will be studying other religions, using the curriculum Religions: Encountering People of Other Faiths. After a refresher course on what we believe as Presbyterians, we will study Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, as well as other Christian denominations
