Sunday School
Sunday School is every Sunday at 10:00 AM from September - June. Children follow the Spark Curriculum, a Bible-based curriculum for grades PreK through 6. Families may access the curriculum from home as well. During the summer months, childcare is available each Sunday where children may participate in fun activities planned by the Sunday School staff. Vacation Bible School is offered for a week in July every summer. Childcare is also available in the nursery all year.
JR/SR High Sunday School
We are happy to announce the church will have a JR & SR High Sunday School offering this year for grades 7 through 12 on Sundays at 10:00 AM. Youth will follow the Spark Curriculum as well.
Adult Education Ministry
Religious Adult Education
Adult Ed sessions are available September - June via ZOOM and in the Library on Sundays at 8:30 AM. Participants watch a video lesson or listen to podcasts for the first 30 minutes and then discuss what they have learned for the next half hour. The classes will end at 9:30 AM so choir members can get to rehearsal and the rest of us can get to church in person if we choose.
Bible Study
Pastor Todd hosts Bible Study every Monday at Noon via ZOOM where participants explore the Scripture(s) from the following Sunday.
Book & Meditation
Every Tuesday morning the Book and Meditation group gets together via Zoom at 6:45 AM for a period of private meditation, followed by reading aloud from a vibrant and thought-provoking book and discussion. Concerned about the early hour? Don’t be. Jammies and coffee are particularly appropriate to Zoom meetings!

Spouse Support
Support for Primary Caregivers

Parish Nurse
Support for Recovery at Home
Vicki Haugen
A parish nurse, also known as a faith community nurse, is a nurse who cares for members of a parish or faith community. They integrate faith and healing to promote wellness within the community they serve. It was officially recognized as a specialty in 1998 by the American Nurses Association. The main roles are health education, health counseling, advocacy, and assistance finding resources or referrals. It prohibits “hands on nursing” care. The nurse must have an active RN license with certification from an accredited program.
