Parkminster Sunday School for Children in Kindergarten- Grade 5

During the school year our Sunday School uses a workshop model. The workshops help each child receive the Bible story in a way that allows him to grow through the experience of the story, to carry the story home, to share the story during the week, and to turn to the lesson in times of need. The workshops incorporate activities that focus on children’s love of dressing up, role-playing, playing with puppets, games and expressing themselves using different materials and techniques. Learning is fun, focused, and meaningful.

A Bible story or theme is taught for three to four weeks in a row. Each week, the class will attend a different workshop (such as art, drama, video, cooking or games). The students will experience the same story in a different way in each workshop.

Sunday School begins at 9:30 upstairs on the third floor. The children join their families for the beginning of the church service at 10:30. After the children’s sermon they go back up to the third floor. They are met by their teacher and directed to their workshop room.
