Teachers help God’s Word come alive by making learning fun and interactive for children attending Sunday School and Bible Explorers at Plainfield United Methodist Church. In age appropriate lessons, classroom goals include teaching each child to pray their own personal prayers and encouraging them to include prayer in their daily lives; memorizing Bible verses and applying them; and preparing the foundation for the child to receive Christ as Savior and follow His example in Christ-like living.
Classes are available for each age group and grade level.
Crib Room (Infant-3 Year Olds)
Children, infants – 3 years, are invited to receive quality care in the church nursery which is equipped with cribs, toys and all necessary facilities. A check-in system and qualified Nursery Sunday School teachers ensure your child is well cared for so that you may participate in adult classes or worship services knowing that your child is safe, comfortable and happy. The Crib Room in located in the Christian Education wing; Room # 15.
Two’s Class
In the two year old classroom, interactive curriculum stresses consistency and repetition. In this class, your child will learn about the love of Jesus through story telling and hands-on activities. Songs are included to reinforce the weekly lesson. The two’s class meets in Room # 18.
Three’s Class
Goals in the three year old classroom include teaching the stories of the Bible in an exciting and creative manner. Children are taught key Bible stories in chronological order. Major themes repeated throughout the Bible, such as God knows everything, God can do anything, God never changes, and faith pleases God, are highlighted in all lessons. The three’s class meets in Room # 20.
Bible Explorers (Pre-K through Grade 5)
In Bible Explorers, children participate in age-appropriate, fun, interactive learning stations to learn about their Bibles and experience the current theme. Bible Explorers meet every Sunday at 9:45am.
Pre-K meets in their own classroom (room 101) for opening activities.
Grades K - 5 meet in room 107 for opening activities.
During opening activities birthdays are celebrated and guests are welcomed before a time of
music and singing.
Following opening activities, adult leaders guide each age group to a learning station which
might be storytelling, art, cooking, videos, music and movement, or drama. Each group rotates
among the learning stations week by week for the 5 week thematic series.
