Sunday School
We have a great time each week in our Sunday School programs at both campuses.
During the school year, we use Grow Curriculum which offers a variety of ways for kids to learn and engage, including short video clips, games, Bible stories, and hands-on activities.
We meet kids where they're at...knowledge, experience, and energy-wise!

On occasion, we will not have Sunday School, in order to give families a chance to worship together. Please check out the schedule on the drop-down lists below.
It's SO IMPORTANT for kids to learn how to be in the service. Books and coloring activities are always available for kids to use during worship.
Check out this article about why.

SEPTEMBER SUNDAY SCHOOL
We like to think about spiritual growth for kids in terms of four spiritual habits. To help a kid grow spiritually and launch their faith journey, teach them to spend time with God, spend time with others, use their gifts, and share their story.
Launch into a new school year with us on either campus!

Service Opportunities to Help Others
Did you know that Gratitude Generation is a local nonprofit organization that is making generational waves?! And...they are housed in our Deerfield site campus at 815 Rosemary Terrace in Deerfield, IL.
They do a tremendous amount of compassionate work in our community, for others, teaching the next generation of children and families how to serve. We've been thrilled to partner with them at events we've held, and we support their mission to support neighbors in need while building a new generation of service-minded leaders.
Check out the many opportunities they have for kids and teens.
Seriously...they're amazing!
Join Gratitude Generation on Saturday, September 28 from 7:00-11:00 am. Come out and volunteer at G2's first 5K at Ridgewood High School in Norridge, IL. Volunteers will be assigned a role upon arrival but will be assisting with tasks such as: check in, race checkpoint cheerleaders, water distribution, service opportunity assistance. Please meet in front of the Ridgewood sign. You must be at least 12 years old to volunteer. Anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
