Education...
As a Christ-centered, inclusive community of faith, we encourage
families to worship together. Our "Church School for all Ages" program is held
each Sunday immediately preceding worship and includes Christian Education
classes for disciples of every age.
Immanuel United Church of Christ believes that learning to be disciples is an
essential part of answering our call to be ministers to the world. Courses
appealing to individuals wherever they may be on their faith journeys are
developed and facilitated by both staff and congregation members. All are
welcome.
High School Christian Education
Our offering to senior high students who wish to share personal reflection, prayer, and scripture reading. Generally centered on the weekly scripture and sermon topic, it is an opportunity for our youth to explore their beliefs and ask questions in an open and friendly forum.
Confirmation
Our confirmation classes are open to anyone in at least the 8th grade. Confirm ands meet evenings with the pastor and confirm and leaders to begin their transition to full church membership. Shortly before their confirmation, they attend a confirmation retreat where they each write their own personal statement of faith, which are read as part of the Confirmation Sunday.
Middle School Christian Education
Our curriculum for this age of teens and "tweens" is dynamic and invites the participants to examine real-life issues, questions of faith, community, and personal growth. It is designed to prepare our youth for confirmation and to become full members of the church.
Children’s Church School
The Immanuel United Church of Christ School is a safe, Christ-centered, and inclusive program that recognizes children learn in many different ways: by doing, by association, singing, art, drama and even through science. Our classes are structured to be developmentally age-appropriate.
