Children and Youth Sunday School

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
– Psalm 119:105

Elementary Children

Sunday School classes are offered mid-September through mid-May from 9:45-10:45 am. Each class follows a comprehensive curriculum, with the opportunity for music, Bible exploration, creative expression and discussion.  Regular Sunday School classes are enriched by occasional special guests and intergenerational activities.

You may register your child at the Sunday School Office or by returning a registration form to the church office. Find your child's classroom on the CTK map (upstairs/downstairs).


About the classes 

Spark Story BibleNursery
Our nursery is offered for infants through 3 year olds during worship and Sunday school. It is staffed by loving and caring adults who have the best needs of your child in mind while you are able to attend a class or worship.

Age 2 through 3rd Grade follows the “Spark” curriculum by Augsburg Fortress. This is a visually exciting program of foundational Bible stories that encourages interaction through a Bible and activity sheets. To order your own Story Bible or learn more, visit activatefaith.org.

4th and 5th Grade
With Connect, tweens revisit the Bible’s greatest stories, uncover major biblical themes, and discover how the Bible relates to their own lives. It’s Bible-centered Sunday school with just enough quirky tween humor to get them hooked.
 

Special Classes are also offered for this age group:

Holy Communion – Take 1
First Communion instruction is offered to 1st-graders (and those in higher grades who desire it) on Sunday afternoon January 20th. All communing for the first time do so on Transfiguration Sunday on February 10, 2013.

Holy Communion – Take 5 
Holy Communion instruction for 5th-graders is a two day (overnight retreat) in-depth program January 12-13 that culminates in special recognition and the presentation of a congregational Bible.

Sexuality Workshop
Fourth- and fifth-graders are invited to participate in an end-of-January session on the Christian view of the physical and emotional changes of puberty.

 

6th- and 7th-Grade Students follow a combination of custom-tailored and Lutheran confirmation-focused curriculum. "Reform" a confirmation curriculum from Sparkhouse, is a source of discussion topics.  These classes explore the Bible as students begin their pre-confirmation studies. Sixth grade explores the Old Testament. Seventh grade covers the New Testament.

GraceLinks is CTK’s ministry of age-appropriate worship celebrations to connect your child to the church community and family of God.
