What is education Hour?
Education hour occurs on Sunday mornings before worship from 9:30am-10:20am. During this hour we will offer spiritual formation and discipleship opportunities for those of all ages! Education Hour is broken up into sessions that are 4-7 weeks in length, so you only need to commit to a few weeks at a time. This gives folks the opportunities to switch up what they are involved in, maybe lead a small group one session, attend one the next, and volunteer for Godly Play the next!
Godly Play
Godly Play (our version of Sunday School) is a Montessori-based method of Christian education that uses storytelling, wonder, and play to nurture children's spiritual growth and understanding of faith.

Don't forget to register your child
In accordance with our Safe Sanctuaries policy, all children involved in Godly play must be registered. Registering gives us helpful information about emergency contacts, behavioral information, parental contact information, media release consent. It is most helpful if you register ahead of time, but if you haven't registered yet and bring your child to Godly Play, no worries we can get you registered then.
Consider volunteering!

Volunteer Trainings & Celebrations
Our church wouldn't have the positive impact it has without our amazing volunteers! Each 5th Sunday of the year we will be devoting education hour to Volunteer Celebrations & Trainings. These training are for already established volunteers and those considering becoming a volunteer in some capacity. We will go over general pieces of business (emergency exits, safe sanctuaries, realm, etc.) as well as taking time to just so thank you to our devoted volunteers!
