Church School (Pre-K - 12th Grade)
The United Parish Church School is for children from pre-school through 12th grade. Children in these classes learn bible basics, stories from the Christian tradition, and explore some of the Big Questions of our faith in age-appropriate ways.
FALL 2022: Last year, we tried outdoor church school for the first time, and it was a hit! We expect to continue with outdoor church school whenever weather is fair, at the discretion of the teachers and students in each class. In the fall, our Elementary, Middle, and High school classes will be following a curriculum called Seeking God Together, part 2 of the three year "Current" series published by SHINE. This season's theme explores 13 spiritual practices in interactive, age-appropriate ways that can deepen and transform our relationship with God and others. Our church will be following this theme in worship services, helping foster a whole-family learning experience!
