Elementary Sunday School: The Port of St. Andrew’s for Grades 1 – 5

Elementary children experience the Bible through the Workshop Rotation Model of Sunday School. The children begin in worship, and exit when dismissed by the pastor by following large processional flags. Guides lead them to “The Port of St. Andrew’s” and their assigned workshop for the day. Children engage in the Bible lesson through various mediums – art, drama, computers, cooking, science, movement, storytelling, and more. Parents pick up their children from the assigned workshop, which is clearly noted in the Sunday bulletin.

Hours: 8:30 am, 9:45 am, 11:00 am.

Classrooms in Great Hall and Youth and Sports Center
