Something for everyone at Church of the Servant

As a community of Reformed Christians, we are seeking to become more like Jesus Christ by worshiping, learning, and serving together. Our goal is always to see increasing involvement in the educational component of our weekly worship together, so your input about any of our educational activities is always welcome!

Children’s Church School

On Sundays during the school year, church school is offered from 10-10:45 a.m. for older 4-year-olds through 12th graders.  Older 4s through 6th graders spend class time experiencing God’s stories in a variety of ways.  We use the FaithWeaver curriculum, which includes the unique feature of presenting the same story to all class levels each Sunday. Families can talk together about their church school experiences, sharing the common story threads and new information with each other. Information about educational opportunities for older students can be found on the Middle School and High School pages.

Summer Church School

During summer morning worship services, Summer Enrichment is offered for children who are 3 years old through graduated 1st graders.  The children enjoy Bible stories and related activities.

Our vision: “…to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-12)
