YOUTH MINISTRY AT PRINCE OF PEACE
Our vision for youth ministry at Prince of Peace is to foster a community where all youth experience God’s unconditional love for them, as they learn how to become disciples of Jesus’ grace and peace. To this end, we desire for our youth to connect in meaningful ways with Prince of Peace’s overall congregational life, including worship and music, fellowship, service-learning, and local and global ministries. Above all, we believe that our youth bless God’s Church and world through their gifts and passions.
OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL CURRICULUM
PRESCHOOLERS - AGE 3 -4
Our Sunday School curriculum for age 3 - 4 year olds is based on Spark: Activate Faith, a Bible-based curriculum published by Augsburg Fortress, the official publishing house of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Sunday School for our youngest children is about getting our young children excited about God’s word. The children learn Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments through games, art, music and science.
KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 5TH GRADE
Sunday School classes Kindergarten through 5 utilize Augsburg’s Whirl Lectionary curriculum. These students read Bible lessons based on the Revised Common Lectionary, hence they are studying the same lessons as are read during worship. Each week they will do studies and activities that relate to the Gospel lesson for that week.
The Gospel lessons for each week of Sunday School (and worship) can be found here. Check what lesson your child will be learning each Sunday morning in their classrooms and have wonderful conversations with your child as they grow in their faith and knowledge.
