Family School
Our version of Sunday school — with one big difference: nobody gets split up. Kids, parents, and grandparents learn the same passage at the same time, side by side.
Why we keep families together
Most churches send children one way and adults another. We used to think that was just how it worked, too. But something happens when a family sits down and digs into the same scripture together: the conversation doesn’t end when class does. Kids hear their parents wrestle with the text. Parents know exactly what their children are learning — because they learned it in the same room, at the same time.
The Bible puts the responsibility for teaching children about God squarely on parents. Family School doesn’t replace that — it equips it. Every week, every family leaves with the same passage in their hands and something to talk about on the drive home.
What it looks like in the room
It’s a class, not a service — taught by Pastor Summers or Pastor Steve, our assistant pastor. There’s teaching from the front, questions along the way, and all ages in the seats. Bring your Bible; expect to open it.
Our current study is “Portraits of Proverbs” — walking through the characters found in Proverbs, comparing the wise and the foolish, the diligent and the sluggard, and asking which portrait looks most like us.
“But what if my toddler is a distraction?”
They might be. Ours are too — that’s what a room full of families sounds like, and nobody here will give you a look over a restless two-year-old. If you’d rather have the hour to focus, our staffed nursery is open for ages 0–3 during Family School, every week. Use it or don’t — both are genuinely fine.
Come sit in this Sunday
9:45 AM, an hour before the morning service. Show up once and see what it's like — no preparation needed.
