Children's Sunday School

    We have Sunday School classes for children from birth to 12 years old. Our Sunday School teachers are deeply committed and loving people who desire to communicate God’s love to their students.
 

Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten
    Upon leaving the church nursery at four years of age, children enter the pre-kindergarten/ kindergarten class. Lessons are taught through the use of puppets, coloring pages, and story boards. This class meets at 11:00 AM in Room 102.
 

Primary Class
    This class is our first and second graders. The class is taught by Elaine Bogart and Stella Stillion. Elaine has been teaching Sunday School at Southwood for over 30 years and is highly skilled in communicating God's love to her children. Kids always love her class and she is deeply loved by her students.

    The First and Second Grade Class learns how to look up Bible references according to the lesson being taught. They learn about people in the Bible and how God worked through their lives and how God can and will work through the lives of 1st and 2nd Graders. They play games to reinforce the lessons being taught. Hands-on activities are planned. Story pages are sent home for reinforcement as well. This class meets at 11:00 AM in Room 101.

“The CREW”
    This class is for young people in the 3rd through 6th grade. Gunnar Maxwell who has a special love for these children teaches the class. Gunnar has been involved in Children's Ministries for over 10 years. This class meets in room 101 at 9:30 AM each Sunday.

    Pre-Teens are in the position of being neither a child nor a teen. This class is designed to help the children navigate the time with grace and confidence. The class often has activities of their own but from time to time will be invited to join teens in activities that are appropriate for this age group. The purpose of this is to help introduce the pre-teens to the youth  group in a way that is comfortable for them. Pre-teens who are going into the 7th grade are promoted into the teen department at the beginning of the summer after they complete the sixth grade. This allows them to integrate into the teen department during the summer when there are many opportunities to socialize.
