Christian Education

MISSION: The Christian Education committee acts as a reporting agent for all educational programs and activities within the congregation and makes recommendations which will enhance the educational program.

WHAT IS DONE? Our Christian Education programs include the Adult Education program, the Catechetical program, the Splash (cradle roll) program, the First Communion program, Library, Preschool, Sunday Church School, SCS Christmas program and Vacation Church School. The committee monitors each of the programs and offers assistance to our volunteer leaders whenever needed.

 The Spark program is introduced to families when their child is baptized. Mary Saviola is the coordinator. The program contacts these families for 3 years until the child is ready for the 3 year old Sunday Church School Class.

               
 The Sunday School Staff uses the Akaloo curriculum along with various other enrichments to teach children from 3 year old through 9th grade confirmation. They present Bibles to 3rd graders and this class prepares students for their springtime 1st communion.

 Intergenerational events are planned throughout the year by various committees.

MEETINGS: This large group meets on an ad-hoc basis. Smaller focus groups meet whenever necessary; an example is when a new program is introduced.

CONTACT PERSONS: Please contact Kathy Moody @ 824-9632 or Pastor John if you are interested in offering your assistance to any of the Christian Education groups. The Council representative is Larry Chavanne.
