Sunday Morning Discipleship

Sunday Morning Discipleship is an age-graded discipleship ministry.  The curriculum used purposefully presents God as the main character in each lesson, rather than dwelling on man and man's needs.  Our goal is to encourage each child to know personally the character and works of the God of the Bible so that they will place their confidence in Him and live obediently. (Psalm 78)

Curriculum:

Currently we are using Children Desiring God materials. This year's studies are:

Age 4-KG

"He Established a Testimony" (8-14-11 to 1-29-12)

"He Has Spoken by His Son" (2-12-12 to 5-13-12)

Grade 1-3

"Faithful to All His Promises" (8-14-11 to 5-13-12)

Grade 4-6

"To Be Like Jesus" (8-14-11 to 5-6-12)

These materials are supplemented at the elementary level with a Bible skills curriculum designed to teach our children about the Bible and how to study it. Because we are committed to the discipleship of the children in our care we have a consistent teaching staff from week to week.

Sunday Morning Discipleship Mission Statement

Sunday Morning Discipleship exists to encourage each child to know personally the character and works of God so that they will place their confidence in Him, live obediently to Him, and walk in view of His grand purposes. (Psalm 78) It is hoped that, by God’s grace, this will be accomplished as we convey to children, through an age-graded discipleship context, the key truths, stories and characters of the Bible, as we inculcate Bible skills, and as we involve child in world mission’s projects.

• Each child – We begin our formal instruction at age 2 and go through the 6th grade. Our heart is to reach every child within the ministry, no matter the challenge, and to continually reach out beyond our walls.
• The character and works of God – We are a God-centered ministry, thus, we want to place before our children the magnificent character and wondrous works of our God. We believe that this knowledge is foundational to our growth in and experience of true faith.
• Place their confidence in Him, live obediently to Him, and walk in view of His grand purposes – The intended goal of all our ministry to the children is that they will grow up to trust the Lord in all their ways, live in accord with all His ways, and invest their lives advancing God’s agenda for the whole world.
• By God’s grace – We are fully aware that no work of God goes forward without God pouring His grace upon us. The finest curriculum, methods, and facility will accomplish nothing apart from God’s empowerment.
• Age - graded, discipleship context – We feel ministry to the children best takes place where child can learn at their own level, and where a consistent staff nurtures children utilizing a small group context.
• The key truths, stories, and characters of the Bible - By exposing children to the “Big Picture” view of the Bible, it is hoped that children will gain a perspective of God’s grand agenda and their part in it.
• Bible skills – We want children to know their Bible: the books, the divisions, the main story line. We also want children to begin their lifelong journey of reading, studying and applying the Word.
• World mission’s projects – We hope that through frequent involvement in mission’s related projects, children will develop a heart for world missions.
