We welcome children and teens to participate in worship and spiritual growth opportunities at Bostwick Lake Congregational UCC. During worship, we offer a nursery for young children and Sunday school classes for all ages. Children and youth begin worship with their families and take part in a short children’s message before transitioning to their classes for age-appropriate learning and activities.
Of course! Children are welcome to stay with their families during worship if they prefer.
Sunday School is available for children from preschool through middle school. We provide age-appropriate lessons and activities to help children grow in their faith.
Sunday School is held during our regular Sunday worship service. Children begin in the sanctuary with their families and are dismissed to Sunday School after the children’s message.
Our curriculum includes Bible stories, faith-based activities, music, and hands-on projects that help children explore Christian values, kindness, and community.
Sunday School is led by dedicated volunteers from our congregation who have a passion for teaching and nurturing children in their faith. All volunteers undergo background checks and training.
Parents are welcome to observe or assist in the classroom if they wish. However, most children feel comfortable participating independently.
