Educational Programs
Sunday Sessions: Plymouth’s Christian Education program for children under the direction of Sheree Alexander is for children ages 3 through 9th grade and is conducted from 10:15 am through 11:30 am on Sunday mornings. This year, while learning from curriculum designed specifically for its age group, each class will have an over-riding theme where the children will “touch base” with how they as individuals can practice Christianity.
One Room Schoolhouse: Our “bring a buddy, be a buddy” program runs during the Summer. We invite children ages three – third grade to bring a friend and two adults (or an adult and teen) to plan a lesson/activity and bring a snack. The relaxed format allows for lots of creativity.
Confirmation program: Conducted for Junior High School aged children, this program, under the direction of the Reverend Van Doren, uses adult mentors from the congregation to help and guide the confirmands. Worship attendance and sermon discussions are part of the confirmation program.
Youth Group for middle and high schoolers: In development. Beginning September 2009.
Adult education and growth programs: Conducted throughout the year, these include topical series and a Lenten Bible Study. An annual fellowship and growth retreat is offered as well as other one-time and short-term studies.
Inquirer's classes: Plymouth offers periodic "inquirer's" classes for those who are relatively new to Plymouth, are considering membership, or who simply would like to know more about Plymouth, our denomination and faith perspectives. It is also a chance to become acquainted with some other newcomers as well as a few current members who will be in attendance. Attending the class does not obligate one to join the church. The last Inquirers' class of 2009 will be held on Sunday, November 8 at 11:45 a.m. Childcare and snacks will be provided. If you would like to sign up for this class, please contact Reverend Van Doren at 455-4260 or e-mail plymouthp@wmis.net.
