Christian Education
Christ Reformed UCC encourages all members to become involved in Christian Education by providing programs that will strengthen and nurture their faith. Classes are available for ALL ages.
Children’s Sunday School Classes are grouped by age and/or grade: Nursery (age 2 or younger); Pre-School (3 and 4 years); Early Elementary (Kindergarten/1st Grade); Middle Elementary (2nd/3rd Grade); Older Elementary (4th/5th Grade); Middle School and High School. The Elementary Classes use a curriculum entitled “Exploring Faith” while the Middle and High School Classes use individual curriculum designed for those age levels.
Several adult Sunday School classes are available, depending on whether your interests lie in traditional or contemporary study, or maybe current issues. You are invited to try any class at any time if you are undecided as to your preference. Some of the classes cover topics for a 2 or 3 month period and then start a new subject, enabling one to attend more than one class over a long period of time. Others use an ongoing curriculum.
