Sunday School

Faith’s Sunday School program begins each year in mid-September and runs through the end of May. Classes are on Sunday from 9 to 9:45 am, ending before the 10 am worship service. We have a multi-age classroom serving kids from five to twelve years old—kindergarten through sixth grade. We use the Holy Moly curriculum designed by Sparkhouse.

The curriculum is split into different units and, during a typical year, we usually cycle through four or five units, alternating between Old and New Testament stories.

During each lesson, children are introduced to a Bible story and its characters by watching a short animated Bible Story video. Teachers and students then discuss what was in the video before reading the story together in their Bible Storybooks. The last part of the lesson is time to get creative with a hands-on activity or game.

We currently have three Sunday School teachers, all of whom have a background in education. Each teacher has an assistant teacher they work with, so the classroom has two adults present at all times. All are required to have annual background checks in order to teach or assist. Teachers rotate weekly. If you are interested in teaching or assisting in our Sunday School program, please contact the church at 616.361.2679 or email the Discipleship chairperson at stacey.schepers@gmail.com. 

** Beginning in the fall of 2023, we will offer a Confirmation Class for children in grades five through seven—ages eleven through thirteen.**

Youth Events

In addition to Sunday School classes, we try to have at least one fun event or outing a month. Past activities have included a trip to Robinette’s Orchard in the fall, hosting a Trunk-or-Treat for Halloween, a Christmas movie and pizza night, craft making and hosting for the Christmas Bazaar, Easter Egg Hunt, Vacation Bible School, summer camp at  Stony Lake, and more!
