And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit – 1 Cor. 2:13 (RSV)

At Memorial, we offer a variety of classes that strive to meet the needs of everyone, from infants to adults. All of our adult classes take pride in supporting the many ministries of the church. They also take an active role in supporting various ministries within our community and state. You will find the opportunity to grow in your Christian faith through fellowship and friendship with other believers. We hope to see you at 10 next Sunday morning!

Nursery - A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers for both the traditional and contemporary church services and for infants during the Sunday School hour. Only children of the appropriate age are allowed in the nursery room. No child over the age of five should be in the nursery room. Children over the age of five are invited and encouraged to attend service.

One year olds – The Baby Beginning! This 12-month based program is organized by key monthly themes and equips the leaders and you with the tools to help little ones take their first steps in learning about God. At the beginning of each month, we will send home a card. Each card shows a Bible story picture and related conversation suggestions, a brief Bible story, a simplified Bible verse, an activity idea and a prayer. This will help you and your child learn their monthly lesson.

2 Year Old Class – Your child is just beginning his or her formal faith education. But research has shown time and time again that faith is not learned at church. Faith is developed when a child experiences it at home, with his or her parents. You have a profound influence on your child’s faith. Each week, you will receive a card that will have a Bible-based story on it. It will also contain valuable information to help you teach faith to your child.

Pre-3 through 4 Year Olds and K-5 through Grade 5 - Children will learn to LIVE B.I.G.! “LIVE B.I.G.” is a scripture-based curriculum; it is designed for each age level and includes age appropriate activities created to meet the various learning styles of children. Children are given the opportunity to learn through story, drama, games, class discussion, music and crafts. This will make for an exciting Sunday School hour of coming to know the love of God by taking what they learn from Sunday School into their everyday lives.
