  • Shepherd children to know and serve Jesus; (Mission)
  • Understand how the Holy Spirit changes lives; (Evangelism)
  • Support families as followers of Christ. (Discipleship)

Our Schedule

The Education Hour at both FirstChurch campus locations begins at 9 a.m.

Our Curriculum

We are very excited to be using the FaithWeaver curriculum for the Sunday School year. FaithWeaver is more than just a Sunday School curriculum and a set of resources.

It is a coordinated system in which family members learn about the Bible and apply it to their lives through Sunday School and interaction at home; a system to assist in helping families weave faith into life; a curriculum which coordinates the lessons so all children study the same lesson each week; and a curriculum which provides multiple ways to connect the learning that happens at church with daily life at home.
