Christian Education
The Christian
Education program is fast growing at KUPC. We offer a variety of Sunday
School classes ranging from the 3 year old class to the adult classes.
Our church year encompasses great opportunities for the children such as
Vacation Bible School and Prayed for the World. In addition to these
Christian Education opportunities, KUPC provides many other fellowship
events throughout the year such as the Winter Sleepover. Come worship with us and join our growing force of
children and adults serving God.
Christian Education is a
ministry priority at KUPC. There are Church School classes for all ages
on Sunday morning beginning at 9:30am. Attention is paid to age
appropriate material and multiple intelligence learning as lessons are
developed.
A
Nursery
for children through age 3 is provided each Sunday. The Nursery is
designed to be a warm and nurturing atmosphere to welcome the youngest
members of God's family. The children enjoy a Bible story, craft,
music, and snack during the Sunday School hour
A modified
Rotation Model Sunday School
program is designed for elementary age children. Nine to Twelve Bible
stories are studied in age-appropriate depth each year in a format of
storytelling, art, science, games, computer activities, drama, video and
cooking. A rotation of teachers and volunteers lead the classes.
The
Youth
focus on more advanced Bible passages and their application to life.
