During the 9:30am service, the pastor will announce it's time for Sunday School. The Sunday School leaders will gather the kids at the front of the Sanctuary and then usher them outside to the play yard tables. 

Usually, we play a game like Simon Says or Red Light/Green Light. We might have a Scavenger Hunt. This activity will be loosely related to the lesson for the day. 

We'll either read out of one of our storybook bibles or act out the story for the kids, and then ask comprehensive questions. Some lessons we've done before include: Fruits of the Spirit, Living a Christ-like Life (James), and Characters of the Christmas Story. We close the lesson with a prayer. 

The kids move back to the tables for an activity that ties in with the lesson. It's usually a craft or a science experiment! Then we'll pass out memory bible verses and any other activity pages for the kids to take home.

Lead Teacher

Mattie is a new addition to the children's ministry team and has been teaching at West Pres' Sunday School since Fall 2022. As someone who also grew up in this wonderful little church, she's loved working with Hayley to build a program that mixes some of West Pres' traditions with new traditions and fun activities. Mattie loves getting to know all the amazing kids and sharing the love of the gospel with them, all while making some really fun arts and crafts!
