KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE 6: Our church school uses the Workshop Rotational Model. the goal of the Workshop Rotational Model is to provide interactive, hands-on learning. Every month there is a new unit. The same Bible story is used throughout the month, in different and interesting ways, designed to appeal to a variety of learning styles. The children rotate every Sunday through one of the 4 workshops. NURSERY: Child care for
infants and young children PRESCHOOL: A modified version of the Workshop Rotation is provided in our class of 3 and 4 year olds. YOUTH CLASS: Classes for our Youth grades 7 and up are also provided.
ART ALLEY: In Art Alley, the children experience the Bible story through creative and imaginative crafts. IMAGINATION STATION: Cooking, science experiments, puzzles, and games are all a part of Imagination Station. PRAISE PLACE: The main focus of Praise Place is music. This workshop includes singing, playing musical instruments, and storytelling. PERFORMANCE POINT: Children will learn about the Bible through storytelling, acting, and puppetry.

If you are unsure about volunteering to lead a workshop, you can consider being a helper or a shepherd. Shepherds help with the younger children get to their workshops and stay in the class to assist the teacher. Because the workshop leaders change each week, generally shepherds stay with the same class throughout the year (or part of the year) so that the smaller children have a consistent leader working with them.
