Godly Play
The Reverend Jerome Berryman, an Episcopal priest, created the Godly Play program. His approach is Montessori based. Children are encouraged to "wonder" about each story lesson told. This program moves through the Liturgical Calendar Year. Beginning with Creation and moving through to Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost.
02
Youth Group and Youth Confirmation
Youth need the flexibility to enjoy time together but also participation in Worship. The Youth Group model of a Sunday morning rotation, works well. Mission, Fun, Worship/Service and Rest.
Youth Confirmation can take place one a week, or on an all-day Saturday camp model.
03
Adult Christian Education
Adult Sunday School can be carried out on Sunday mornings in the form of Bible Study, or the small group model of watching Historical and Biblical Archeology online presentations together, then following a group discussion.
04
Vacation Bible School
Pilgrimage is a part of the Christian faith. Helping children to understand that their spiritual life is a journey can begin in the summer with Vacation Bible School. "Journey with the Saint" is a unique Friday night model of VBS where dinner is served. Children attend VBS 5:30pm-7:45pm.
