Sunday School Curriculum and Worship Care
Our age requirements for class assignments are based on the same standards used by the Alabama school systems. Students need to reach the age requirement on or before September 1st. A child stays with the same class for the entire year and is promoted to the next age level on “Promotion Sunday,” which is the first Sunday in June.

Preschool Curriculum
2-year old class    “God Loves Me”   Room G05 
The God Loves Me curriculum is written in the Reformed tradition. It contains 52 beautifully illustrated picture books that take children through the stories in the Bible to help them understand that God loves us and gives us good gifts. The weekly lesson will be reinforced during the hands-on craft activity, song-body movement activities, and music time with Mrs. Compton.
Teachers: Leslie Robinson, Teri Borders, Liz Pharo, and substitute teachers are Lindsey Ring, Jessica Meriwether, and Courtney Bowen.
 
3-year old class   “Wee Believe”    Room G08
4-year old class                      Room G12 
In the Wee Believe curriculum children will be introduced to major personalities of the Old and New Testaments. They will begin with the stories of Joseph, move through the Exodus and Exile of the children of Israel, and end with the birth of Jesus, his baptism, and the miracles of Jesus. Children will also participate in hands-on crafts, song-body movement activities, and spend music time with Mrs. Compton.
