Children have a very special place at Plymouth. We teach our young people Biblical stories through a progressive Christian lens. We emphasize the arts and social justice from a young age. Build lasting relationships with our children: Check out opportunities to help them in Church School.
Contact our Programs Manager Nina Jonson.
During the September to May program year, educational options for all ages occur from 10:00 to 10:50 a.m. Church School programming will occur in the Education wing. We ground our study of God’s ways in Christian and Hebrew scripture, interfaith perspectives and faith stories. We are open to questions about faith and equip children for their lifelong faith journey. Allowing the freedom of the seeker of any age is a core value of our progressive Christian community, as is respecting all faiths. Each week, the curriculum will be tied to the main themes of the scripture and sermon of our worship services, providing a cohesive experience between worship and education. In order to best serve the variety of learning needs of our children, every class every week will have opportunities for movement activities, art, stories or songs and games, as well as equip the children to apply lessons learned in church into their everyday lives.
We embrace diverse families—families with two moms, mom and dad, two dads, a single parent, or those with gender-variant family members, including children—all are welcome at Plymouth Church.
Register for 2019–2020. (If your child has any unique learning needs, dietary issues or other things we should know to help make their Church School experience successful, please contact Nina after registering them!)
