Godly Play

Godly Play is an approach to Christian formation that enables children to experience the presence of a loving God and discover how to speak the language of their biblical faith. The goal is to teach children the art of using religious language; parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action to help them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence around them and in their lives.

Three-year-olds through Kindergarten meet in the Blue Room.

First Grade through Third Grade meet in the Purple Room.

Bible Basics

Our Upper Elementary (Fourth and Fifth Grades) and Middle School (Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grades) focus on Bible study basics.  This year in Sunday School, these two classes will use David C. Cook’s most widely used curriculum, Bible-in-Life.  Bible-in-Life provides our youth with a Sunday school experience that deepens their Bible study skills and Scripture knowledge. Expanding on students' foundation of faith gained in childhood, this class will offer  real-life application and supports our youth’s perspective of the world and how they fit in. No matter where students are in their walk with Jesus, Bible-in-Life communicates the gospel with life-changing clarity and motivates them toward life application. When the Bible is in your life, God's Word transforms your heart and mind.

Fourth and Fifth Grades meet in the Green Room.

Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Grades meet in the Red Room.

Growing as a Faith-Full Family

Our senior high students (grades 9 through 12) meet with the Michael Mills and Fr. Houk in the Parish Hall classroom for the intergererational class "Growing as a Faith-Full Family."
