Sunday School
Sunday school is held during the 9:30 service each Sunday. All children are invited to begin the morning in the service with their families to experience worship with the entire congregation. Once dismissed, the children participate in large and small group time. Parents and Guardians are encouraged to pick up children immediately following the service to enjoy coffee hour and fellowship (but, most importantly - DONUTS!).
Curriculum
3 year olds - Kindergartners experience their “First Look” at God. Through bible stories and games and activities, children learn that:
- God made me
- God loves me
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever
1st - 6th graders experience the unique curriculum, “252 Basics”, through creative activities, bible stories, a core virtue and memory verse that emphasize three basic principles that Jesus demonstrated in Luke 2:52 as he grew in wisdom, faith and friendship:
- I need to make the wise choice
- I can trust God no matter what
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated

Nursery care for infants through 3 years of age is available during both (9:30 and 11:00) Sunday services in room 5 of the Big Wood School wing. A paging system is available upon request.

Children’s Ministry Team
A group committed to partnering with parents to provide a nurturing environment in which children will learn the Word of God, how to build and keep a thriving relationship with Jesus Christ in their everyday lives, and to grow in faith through worship and outreach to others.
Volunteer Support/Parental involvement:
As with most children’s programs, children’s ministry could not happen without the support and involvement of the church family and parents. We encourage and appreciate participation as we work together to impact the lives of the children and help nurture their relationship with Jesus Christ. Please contact Carrie Kotara at 208.622.0548 or carriek@pcbw.org.
