Children
Children’s Sunday School
Mission Hills UCC believes that, just like adults, children in our congregation are on a spiritual journey. Children begin the service in the sanctuary with their families and the entire congregation, then go upstairs for Sunday school class following the “Children’s Message.”
In Sunday school, we use a Workshop Rotation Model to match the wide array of interests and learning styles represented by our diverse group of children. This curriculum helps to form their faith and enrich their spiritual lives by spending more time on fewer stories. Instead of learning a new Bible story each week, the Workshop Rotation Model spends 4-5 weeks on the same Bible story with the children participating in different activities each week. Activities include art, cooking projects, science, music, drama, puppets, and even technology. As a result, the children will gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the relevance of that scripture in our lives. They will also get to know the many volunteers who serve the ministry through teaching.
We also offer a Big Steps Nursery for children 3 years and younger.
All Around the World: Summer Camp at MHUCC
Mission Hills UCC extends a warm invitation to your children – from Pre-K (potty trained) to 6th grade – to embark on an exciting week filled with fun! Together, we will journey to five different countries (without actually leaving Mission Hills!), exploring their cultures, music, art, and cuisine.
