"A Place to Grow in God's Love" is intentionally taught through our relationships, the Bible Stories, creative lessons, and having tons of fun.

Children are encouraged to learn by teaching using the "Multi-Intelligences in the Classroom" techniques of reading, thinking, seeing, drawing, acting, touching, dancing, singing - connecting with the Message.

Sunday Morning Christian Education Programs are offered for every child from 25 mos. (Toddler II) through fifth grade. Liberty Corner Church urges all families to take the Two Hour Challenge; Worship as a family at one hour and Christian Education for the other. Adult Educational or ministry opportunities (see Parent's Page) are available while our children join their friends at Sunday Morning School at either 9:15 or 10:45.

Sunday School Curriculum:  Cokesbury Publishing.  Here are LCPC we are planting the seeds of faith in children's hearts and minds.  We are helping children come to know and love Jesus Christ!  Using a variety of hands-on experiences, Exploring Faith helps children learn and experience the Bible in ways they can understand.  Children will be challenged to take God's Word to heart and apply it in their daily lives. 

What makes Exploring Faith right for our children?

• Faith-building stories each week
• Biblically based faith point introduces each week's lesson
• Seven learning styles engage children so each is touched in a meaningful, memorable way
• Age-appropriate stories and activities teach the Bible story in a way that each child can understand.

Special Sundays      

Second Grade Communion Celebration:  All second graders are invited to participate in a Communion Celebration; a fun, instructive workshop which offers a more in-depth overview of The Lord’s Supper.  A Winter  workshop is scheduled for Sundays, typically in February or March and is offered at both the 9:15 and 10:45 regular Sunday School hours.  On the final Sunday the second graders will come into worship to join their parents and receive communion together.  Communion continues the work begun at Baptism; therefore all baptized Christians are invited to Jesus’ table.  For further information, please contact Claudia Stillwaggon at cstillwaggon@libertycorner.org.  

Kick Off Sunday, our September celebration, is the first Sunday back from summer vacation. It's a time to get acquainted with our Sunday School teachers, meeting new friends and renewing old friendships.  Our theme for the 2005-2006 year was "Getting Connected" to your faith, your family and yourself.  Come and find out how you can get connected to our families by serving Christ in Children & Family Ministries.  For more details, please contact cstillwagon@libertycorner,org.

Invite A Friend To Sunday School, a day in November, is when our kids get to show off their friends to their church family. Special attention is made of each child that brings a friend, as well as the friend. 

Plans are in the works for Sunday, November 19th.  Continue to check out our website for more details.

Third Grade Bible Adventure is offered during January and February. The program begins by a worship celebration where the children are presented their own Bible and continues by teaching the over view of the entire Bible.
On February 19, 2006, 35 Third Graders completed this six week adventure of understanding and navigating through the Bible; by memorizing major scriptures, learning time lines, various grouping, biographies, history and authors of all 66 books of the Bible.  Congratulations to all the kids and a huge thank you to Sue Kennedy, Sharon & Andy Mahoney, Jerrilyn & Stephen DeSee, Beth Scheiderman, Patty Knouse and Stephanie Wallace for leading them!!   

“He’s Alive” is our special Easter morning service for our children (K through 5^th grade) in Douglas Hall at 9:15 and 10:45.  Our 3^rd through 5^th graders will create a special worship service for the Kindergarteners through 2^nd grade kids.  The Easter Morning Worship celebration is a time the children worship as kids celebrating the risen Christ in their own style.   Accompanied by adults, our children lead worship their way by greeting, sharing the message, re-acting the Easter Story, lifting up in prayer their family and friends, and of course taking time for crafts and Easter treats.   If your child is interested in becoming part of the “He’s Alive” re-enactment, please contact Claudia Stillwaggon at cstillwaggon@libertycorner.org or call ext. 112.  Children 4 yrs. old and under will report to their normal classrooms on Easter morning.

Children in Worship
Families are encouraged to worship together as part of the Two Hour Challenge. Children’s bulletins are available on the Children’s Worship Tables outside of Center Court and in the Narthex. We encourage the children to use them during the sermon only in order that they may fully participate in the other aspects of worship. The materials provided correspondence with the sermon text and theme offered by the pastor.
