Sunday School
We have a great time each week in our Sunday School programs at both campuses.
During the school year, we use Grow Curriculum which offers a variety of ways for kids to learn and engage, including short video clips, games, Bible stories, and hands-on activities.
We meet kids where they're at...knowledge, experience, and energy-wise!

On occasion, we will not have Sunday School, in order to give families a chance to worship together. Please check out the schedule on the drop-down lists below.
It's SO IMPORTANT for kids to learn how to be in the service. Books and coloring activities are always available for kids to use during worship.
Check out this article about why.

JANUARY SUNDAY SCHOOL
People love camping, and for good reason! You can take in nature, practice special skills, or just take time to relax in a new environment. And when it comes to camping, no one loved it as much as John the Baptist. In this series, kids will hear about John the Baptist's special role in preparing the way for Jesus and his ministry. John's story will help kids to say their camp motto," I believe God gives me purpose. I believe God can speak to me. I believe God is powerful. I believe God's words are true."

Did you know that Gratitude Generation is a local nonprofit organization that is making generational waves?! And...they are housed in our Deerfield site campus at 815 Rosemary Terrace in Deerfield, IL.
They do a tremendous amount of compassionate work in our community, for others, teaching the next generation of children and families how to serve. We've been thrilled to partner with them at events we've held, and we support their mission to support neighbors in need while building a new generation of service-minded leaders.
Check out the many opportunities they have for kids and teens.
Seriously...they're amazing!
