Nursery Care
There is nursery care for infants and toddlers from 8:45 am-9:45 am and during the 10 am Celebration Worship Service. Our nursery and toddler rooms are located on the 1st floor of the Education Building.
Toddlers & 4 year olds
It is important that our children begin their educational experiences early in life. Once children are baptized, they begin the journey of the Christian life. An essential ingredient in that journey is learning about the faith and the faith community into which they are baptized. We begin our Christian Education Ministry at APC at age 30 months or 2 ½ years. On Sunday
morning a class for children 30 months through 4 years of age is held on the second floor of the Education Building. In this class young children begin to learn about their faith. Preschool children learn about God primarily through play and storytelling. Each week the teachers read Bible stories, foster cooperative play, lead a craft, and sing with the children. Our youngest members begin their faith journey in fun and joy.
5th & 6th Grade Sunday School
Our 5th and 6th graders take part in a Bible Survey class during our regular Sunday School hour at 10 am. Each year they will study an overview of either the Old Testament or the New Testament. The survey rotates year to year. The class pulls together the many Bible stories that they have learned in the precious years into one comprehensive timeline.
Summer Sunday School Classes
(mid-June-August)
During the summer months we offer a ‘one room schoolhouse’ experience for children in preschool through 2nd grade, and 3rd through 6th grade. Both summer Sunday School classes offer an opportunity to play and build fellowship and community, a Bible story, a snack, and time to make a craft or other activity. Children in the younger class report directly to the class at 10 am. Children in 3 rd through 6th grades depart for the class after the children’s moment during worship.
