Preschool
Classes (Toddlers - 4 yrs) are held in self-contained classrooms where children feel safe and
loved as they are taught Biblical stories.
During Sunday School times, nurseries are
provided for young children on the 2nd floor. The Toddlers and
the Twos have a bible lesson and craft activity in
Room 223. The Three
and four-year-olds have a self-contained Sunday School class in
Room
221.
Note: Nurseries are provided before and after Sunday School
for children ages infant through 5-years during all services of
worship.
SonRise Village
SonRise Village is split into 4 classes.1)
Kindergarten is in room 129, 2) Grade 1-3 in room 127, 3)
4th Grade in room 125, and 4) 5th grade in room 123. They
are split up by age level and class size. They have the same
teachers in their class room each Sunday. All Sunday
School classes are currently studying relationships with
others and their relationship with God. Most lessons are
similar in nature with a theme that is biblical as well as
personal. At the end of Sunday School time our children meet
in the "BIG ROOM” (124, 126, and 128 combined) for
Announcements and Pre-Worship.
