FRC Youth Ministries

"We are committed to developing students who are established in their faith; developing students who know how to be led by the Spirit and to walk by the Spirit which will produce in them the character qualities and priorities of Jesus"  (Galatians 5:22-23)                                             

 

Sunday School

At Faith Reformed Church we have Sunday School classes for all ages, from age 4 to adult. Classes start immediately following our morning service and fellowship time, from 11 a.m. to noon. Our curriculum, "Walk With Me," for our Pre-Kindergarten through 8th Grades is based on our Reformed/Presbyterian doctrine and includes memory work with each lesson. They also include projects and other activities, along with music, songs, and dramatic readings to enhance and reinforce learning. Grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5th Grades begin with a shared music time.

 

The High School class just finished studying the Book of Acts. They are now learning about what we believe as Christians and then will be studying different religions and comparing each of them to Christianity.

 

We usually have two Adult classes to choose from. Currently, we have one using a book on prayer called "Praying the Names of God" by Ann Spangler and one using a weekly internet discussion format called "The Wired Word," which covers the news of the previous week.

 

We hope you will join us for Sunday School any time! If you have any questions, please call the church office at 423-3055.

 

Children's Church Alternative Program

Faith Reformed Church offers a Children's Church Alternative Program during our regular church service. It starts immediately following the children's sermon and is for ages 4 through 11. It consists of a video series of animated stories fron the Old and New Testament. It includes worksheets containing puzzles, word search, questions and coloring pages relating to the Bible story they are watching. The children meet in the   room next to the Infant Nursery. A small snack is served. This alternative is at the parents' discretion. 

 

Faith Friends      

Faith Friends is our midweek program for kid's kindergarten through sixth grade. It meets from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. each Wednesday night from mid September to mid-May. It consists of an opening time as a whole group with music, memory and a skit emphasizing the Bible story/theme for the evening. Children are then rotated in smaller groups, called circles, through different stations which include crafts, music, and snacks. Each station builds on the main bible theme as presented during the opening. The children conclude in their small groups with a time of "journaling." This is the time they share what has been happening during their week and answer some questions designed to help them in making the lesson real in their lives.

 

Vacation Bible School     

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is an unique opportunity for children from age 4 through the 6th grade. Each summer approximately 50 children of the church and of the community gather together to learn about and experience the love of God through Jesus Christ from the youth and adults who are leading them. The children meet together for five 3-hour days for a week of fun, skits, music, recreation,snacks, and Bible lessons. Each year the week has a particular theme. The theme this year will be Son Quest Rain Forest by Gospel Light. All the children of the community are invited to attend.               

Scheduled for August 8th through August 15th, 2010 from 9 a.m. to noon.
