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.

Summer Camp at MHUCC

Creation Care VBS invites children to delight in God as creator, redeemer, and sustainer of all things by immersing them in the wonders of the created world. God made a “wildly wonderful world” full of amazing creatures that delight and glorify him. Did you know that there are one billion bacteria in a teaspoon of soil? That an octopus has three hearts? That bees do a special dance to tell each other where the best nectar can be found? These are the works of a playful and imaginative Creator.

Through daily devotions, nature study, music, and play, children learn that all of God’s works are good and that they themselves are beloved creations.

Please register your children—K (potty-trained) through 6th grade.

June 26-30, 9 am – 12 pm. $25 per child.
