Childrens Christian Education Classes
We welcome your children to the Sunday School of Moody Memorial First United Methodist Church and we welcome you as partners in our ministry with children. We take seriously the task of making Christ and the Christian story known to children in a manner that nurtures them in their lifelong growth in faith. It is our belief that home and church must become partners in nurturing children in their Christian growth.
Children’s Curriculum
The children’s Sunday School classes use the Exploring Faith literature, a very interactive curriculum of games, stories, art and drama. This resource provides a quarterly cycle of age-appropriate Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments. These stories, paired with learning activities, encourage children to apply the Bible message to their daily lives.
