Elementary Sunday School (grades 1-5)
What: The Explorers program is an exciting educational program for grades 1-5, featuring five different rotational workshops each week (each grade attends a different workshop). Each "rotation" begins with lessons taught in the services, exploring a common theme from various aspects of the Bible, but through a variety of workshop methods such as film (Seaside Cinema), art projects (God's Garden), outreach (Temple Treasures), games (Disciple's Desert) and drama (Paradise Playhouse). There's something for every child's interest and learning style! When elementary students arrive each Sunday, they check in using our electronic check-in system, receive a name tag, and attend the first 15 minutes of worship with their families before being escorted to Sunday School.
When: Explorers classes are held during the 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. services. A combined class for grades K-5 is held in God's Garden during the 11:00 a.m. sancutary service.
Where: Electronic check-in stations are available all morning and are located in the lower level Abbey, the second floor Abbey, the refectory foyer (just outside the St. Andrew's service), and the Tower of the Apostles (just outside the sanctuary). Students check in electronically with their parents at one of these stations before attending the first 15 minutes of worship (sitting with their families). At the appropriate time during the service, a "Shepherd" will lead the children by grade to the appropriate classroom. At the conclusion of the service, parents meet their children in the classrooms.
