Sunday School, 9:30-10:15 a.m.

PreK thru 5th grade
Sunday School has an intentional curriculum to teach every grade of students a full comprehension of the Bible each year. This is also where we intentionally wrap in the faith formation milestones of learning the Lord's Prayer, Books of the Bible, Apostle's Creed, and 10 Commandments. We have a dedicated staff of teachers who make a year-long commitment, offering consistency for the students. Our teachers are carefully screened and background checked.  We meet in the Fellowship Hall downstairs every Sunday. You are welcome to drop-off starting at 9:15 a.m. Children are brought back into worship with their families or to sit with their class in the first two left pews at around 10:15 a.m. right before communion.

Sunday school always takes a break the Sunday before and after Christmas, the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend and the Sunday after, and the Sunday before and of Labor Day weekend.

Children's Church, 10:15-11:15 a.m.

PreK thru 5th Grade

We will be offering Children’s Church to our young visitors alongside our 10:15 a.m. contemporary worship service. Children will begin in worship with their families, then before the reading of scripture and the message, we will have background checked and trained teachers take them across the hall to the Fireside Room for a short lesson and activity based on the sermon text for the day. During announcements, before communion, we will bring the children back to worship with their families. This Children’s Church offering is in line with our vision of family-centered worship, while also providing a space for the children to learn the Word of God at their own level and understanding. Children’s Church is available for children in preschool through 5th grade. The nursery is also available for the entire service for children aged three and under.

"You are Created in the Image of God" Self Portrait Gallery (K/1st Grade): January 2025 in the Gathering Place

Our Kindergarteners and first graders are learning in Sunday School that they are created in the image of God and that they are image bearers of that awesome and amazing God out in the world. We recognize this publicly with a self-portrait gallery on display in the month of January in our Gathering Place.

The Lord's Prayer (2nd Grade): February 9, 2025

Our second graders are learning The Lord's Prayer in Sunday School each week. They will lead the congregation in this prayer at the 9:30 a.m. service on February 9th. 

First Communion (3rd Grade):  March 9, 2025

First Communion instruction happens in the Spring of third grade for our youth. Part of the 3rd grade Sunday school curriculum includes instruction on Passover and the Last Supper, which provides the background for further instruction with our faith formation leadership and parents. Some youth might feel moved to begin receiving communion prior to 3rd grade and that should include a conversation with the pastor and parents. If you have a child that is older than third grade that would like to take First Communion, please email michaela@flccs.net for more information.

First Bibles (4th grade): October 27, 2024

At the beginning of each year, we recognize our 4th graders as they are beginning to grow more in their faith and relationship with God. The fourth graders are not just given their first student bibles, they are also learning the books of the Bible and learning about the different genres and audiences of the Bible throughout their fourth grade Sunday school class. 

Apostle's Creed and the Ten Commandments (5th grade): April 27, 2025

Our fifth graders are learning The Apostle's Creed and Ten Commandments in Sunday School. They will lead the congregation in The Apostle's Creed at the 9:30 a.m. service on April 27th.
