Family Ministry
St. Matthew's has spiritual formation classes for all ages from
9:45-10:30am. In parenting today we have to be intentional about how
our children are taught to love and share in a Christian way. Here
at St. Matthews we are dedicated to helping you and your children know and
experience faith in Jesus Christ.
Caterpillar
Class
for ages 0-2year olds is held in the
nursery room located on the first floor. This is for parents and
grandparents and their caterpillar. The children play instruments, sing
songs, and hear a Bible story, focusing on enabling you to live the
Gospel. We create a safe interactive experience for your child and
you. The teacher is Cindy.
Butterfly
Class
for ages 2-3year olds is held on the second floor of Garrett Hall. Sharon
is the teacher, assisted by Liz and Hannah. This class gives
children the opportunity to interact with Scripture, using various
creative mediums. We sing, tell Biblical stories and include art to
explain the Good News of Christ.
St
Mary's - Godly Play
for ages 4-6year olds is held on the second floor of Garrett Hall.
The Godly Play curriculum is great for this age when questions are so
natural. We use mediums like art, sandboxes, and story time to help
the children learn the stories. The children are encouraged to reflect and
wonder how God is a part of the story and their own lives. Merrill is the
teacher.
St
Matthew's Class for
7 year olds to 2nd and 3rd Grade, is held on the
second floor of Garrett Hall. This class takes the children into a
deeper level of their spiritual development by giving more details of the
stories and more opportunities for reflection.
We use lectionary based curriculum. This class is taught by Johan.
St
Macrina
for grades 4-6 is held on the second floor of Garrett Hall.
The students in this class are given a new Bible and use a
curriculum that helps them get to know it. We talk about the Old Testament
and the New Testament and how the Bible guides our lives. Alaine and Louis
co-teach this class.
We also have family
events where all are invited to come and enjoy fellowship. Some of
our events in the past include swim parties, cookouts, end of school
celebrations, and rally day. We hope you will bring your family for fun
and fellowship!! Click here to view pictures...
