6Sundays - September 11, 2023 - May 2024

Jesus said “Let the little children come to me.” When kids are baptized, we pledge to do “all in our power to support this child and their new life in Christ.” We love and nurture each child to grow into their full stature in Christ.

Please register your child(ren) for in-person Sunday School classes for grades K-10th.  Please keep your child at home if they show ANY signs of illness.  Thank you.

Elementary K - 5th Grade classes - meets at 9:30 - 10:15am 

We use a rich and practical that cover the basic Bible stories every Christian should know, along with church history, seasons of the church year, Episcopal Church traditions, and the sacraments of Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.  It helps children practice their faith in prayer and action.  Each lesson is presented in an age-appropriate way, so your child leaves class with the whole story. Children will hear messages from the Old and New Testament.

Youth Class (Grades 6-10th) - meets at 9:00 - 9:30am

Our Youth School children follow a curriculum that assists young people as they begin to take the first steps of independence from their families into their own lives. During these three years, the community acknowledges the gift of gender, celebrates the amazing creative power and potential of these young people, and creates a safe haven in which to explore new ideas, new interests, and new abilities. With Jesus as our model, we seek to examine and strengthen all aspects of our human experience.  

 

The Episcopal Church recognizes Confirmation as the sealing of the covenant created by Baptism.  At St. Peter's Church, after completion of the annual Confirmation class, young people may be confirmed when they are 16 years or older.
