Children’s Formation

St. Andrew’s Christian Education program provides opportunities for children to learn, laugh, play, build friendships, and share in the love and fellowship of our faith and church. St. Andrew’s is blessed with a large number of children and dedicated teachers and childcare professionals to teach and care for our children.

Nursery & Pre-K

St. Andrew’s offers safe and inviting care for children up to age 5. This class is staffed by a paid caregiver who has experience in early childcare and has undergone a diocesan-required background check.

A rotating roster of parent and/or teen volunteers also assist in this class.

Parents must sign in their child upon arrival and indicate who will be picking up the child when leaving. Sign-out is required at all times.

The Nursery/Pre-K class is available year-round on Sunday mornings from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. During the school year, they remain available until 12:15 p.m.

Children’s Chapel

During the service, children are invited to the altar to hear the Gospel reading, then they are invited to go to the Parish Hall for Children’s Chapel. Children’s Chapel is for all children (and adults!) and includes prayers, songs, and a story/lesson about the Gospel reading they just heard.

Sunday School (K – 2nd Grade)

K-2 meet and listen to a Godly Play lesson, have a music lesson from our organist/choirmaster, learn something about the Episcopal faith, and do an activity or craft.

Sunday School is offered during the usual school year from 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

Sunday School (3rd – 5th Grade)

3rd-5th graders meet and use lessons from the Re-Form curriculum that are suited for younger kids. Children are also introduced to the Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Sacraments, The Book of Common Prayer, and the feasts, fasts, and festivities that occur during the Church year.

Sunday School is offered during the usual school year from 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
