Christian Education for Children

Church school is available at St. Andrew’s for children ages 3 through high school at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday.

Godly Play - ages 3 through 3rd grade

Godly Play enables children to become more fully aware of God’s presence around them and in their lives. This

Montessori-based program reinforces each Sunday’s lesson. Simple props illustrate each story and encourage exploration. Children then create art projects based on their understanding.

Episcopal 101 - grades 4 through high school

Parish youth at or near confirmation age are invited to learn all about the Episcopal faith through Episcopal 101. This class explores the Book of Common Prayer, the Bible, and Episcopal Church traditions.

Children's Liturgy & Nursery Care

During the 10:30 am Sunday service, children ages 3 years and older are invited to the chapel for Children's Liturgy, where they hear a simplified version of the day’s Gospel reading, sing songs, and learn about worship.

Nursery care is available on Sundays for children, from infancy through 3 years old, from 9:15 am until the end of the 10:30 am service. The nursery is located to the right of the church's main entrance at the far end of the   Oak Table Lobby. The nursery is staffed by an attendant and volunteers who have been trained in Safeguarding God's Children and the Montessori infant/toddler environment.

 

Christian Education for Adults

The Adult Forum focuses on the weekly lectionary of the Episcopal faith and other spiritual literature at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday. These interactive and lively discussions are open to all and provide an opportunity to explore and learn together.

Bible Study is offered on Thursdays after the 9:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist. Additional study opportunities, focusing on areas of Biblical interest or current theological topics, are offered throughout the year.

Basics of the Faith prepares individuals for confirmation in the Episcopal faith. Participants in the program review the history, beliefs, and practice of the Episcopal faith. The program offers an overview for new Church members or a refresher for long-time Episcopalians and is a requirement for those who wish to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church.

Episcopal Youth Community (EYC)

St. Andrew’s EYC meets on alternating Sundays after the 10:30 am service and includes youth in upper elementary through high school. Additional field trips and outreach activities are also scheduled throughout the year. All eligible youth are encouraged to join the fun and service while exploring and expanding their spirituality.
