Sunday, Jan. 2 Class Registration

On this one special Sunday, in order to provide an exceptional Sunday class experience and to properly staff our rooms with volunteers, we will require reservations for Birth–6th Grade.

Jan. 2: 9:30 am Jan. 2: 11 am

Early Childhood
Birth-K

The Early Childhood ministry will grow your child’s understanding of God’s love through their interactions with caregivers, Bible stories, songs, and age-appropriate activities.

Sunday Mornings 

Sunday Classes are available in person at 9:30 or 11:00 am as well as online through EC Live. Both formats include worship, Biblically-based teaching, and activities that help bring the Bible stories to life in a developmentally fun and appropriate way. 

Note: We hope and plan to be able to meet attendance needs, but to maintain a physically and spiritually safe and enjoyable environment in our classrooms for the children and teachers, we will still maintain room capacity maximums.
