Grades 6-7, McDonald Youth Center – Downstairs
This class will be getting back to basics, focusing on good, old-fashioned Bible study. This year’s lessons will focus on the New Testament and then next year on the Old Testament so that in the course of two years, our Middlers will have a strong foundation of biblical knowledge to prepare them for Confirmation class in their 8th grade year. The class will be using the “We Believe: With All Boldness and Freedom, a Survey of the New Testament.”
Confirmation
For Eighth Graders, this class is designed to prepare our young people for membership in the Presbyterian Church. This class will focus on the history and formation of the Christian Church in the United States, worship in the Presbyterian Church (USA), general knowledge of reformed theology. A series of lessons will focus on the statement “If I say I am a Christian …” to help confirmands to think critically about how their faith has an impact on their daily lives. Supplemented with lessons from "We Believe: Professing Our Faith, a Confirmation Curriculum."
Grades 9-12, McDonald Youth Center – Upstairs, turn left
In this class, our high schoolers will move out from the Confirmation curriculum and delve deeper into the world in which they live, exploring through discussion, film and music how our faith intersects with our daily living. Students will start from the Bible and move through various forms of media and discussion tying biblical themes into the complex world of the modern teenager. The class will be using Smith & Helwys’ “Intersections” curriculum.
