First Congregation Church Sunday School Program

The Sunday School Program at First Congregational Church is geared towards teaching all children how to apply lessons from the Bible and from our Savior, Jesus Christ to their everyday lives.

During the younger years, Preschool – 2nd grade we work hard to teach the children the stories from the Bible, so that later they may pull lessons from these stories and apply them to their real life situations. Beginning in 3rd grade we work with the kids to teach them how to actively apply Christ; His lessons, His attitudes, His forgiveness and His love to their lives and to the situations that they may come to face. It is such a wonderful experience, to see a child with a problem find a resolution to that problem by turning toward Church and the lessons that they have learnt and their relationship that they have forged with Christ.

We also have a wonderful group of volunteer teachers that work very hard to present lessons to the children in a loving, and unique way. Our teachers vary in age, background and teaching education. It is a great combination of assets from our teachers that help to make our Sunday School Program top notch! We welcome and encourage all of our parents and friends to give teaching a try.

Our Vacation Bible School program runs for 10 consecutive Sundays throughout the summer. This program is held in place of regularly scheduled Sunday School during the summer and the kids have an absolute, fabulous time! They come ready for games, crafts, fun, songs and we still manage to slip in a meaningful lesson and message to the kids while they are having a great time!

We also offer a week long day camp, we call Camp FCC! The camp days are great fun and we fill the days with a wonderful mixture of studies, fellowship, activities and of course, we save time for some good, old-fashioned fun! We are very blessed to have a great group of seasoned volunteers for this program, and the kids love it!

Confirmation Class is available to the children once they enter eighth grade. The class is taught by Dr. Lowell Linden and it is approximately a 2 ½ to 3 month program. At completion of the class your child will be ready to make a confirmation of his/her commitment to Jesus Christ and will at that point become a member of the Congregation of First Congregational Church!

True Love Waits is another program that we began offering during the past few years. It has been a wonderful journey as we have watched our teens take a vow of purity. The program is taught by Mark Steinbrenner and me and we both enjoy this program immensely. Suggested age range for this program is high school, but we understand that it is an individual and family choice, we encourage you to call the Church office if you would like your teen to participate and they fall outside the parameters.

Our Sunday School program works closely with our Youth Group programs to offer the children of First Congregational Church a lively, exciting, enticing environment to learn about their faith and the enjoy the teachings of Jesus Christ.

We welcome you and your children to our Church. If you would like any further information about the First Congregational Church Sunday School Program, please feel free to contact the church office and leave a message for Lori Hovren to return your call.
