Sunday School

The Church School at St. Chrysostom’s welcomes children age 3 through fifth grade on Sunday mornings during the 10 AM Christian Formation hour. Beginning Church School at 10 AM allows children to attend the 9 AM Family Eucharist or the 11 AM service of worship. The  goal of our Church School program is to have fun while learning the stories of the Bible and the history of the church, and for our children to be integrated into the whole life of the church community.

Our youngest children use the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program and meet in the Atrium located downstairs in the Children’s Chapel. Here children, ages 3 to 6, are encouraged to discover God and to explore their faith in an age-appropriate environment that uses storytelling, songs, and manipulatives.

Living the Good News, a lectionary-based curriculum (meaning the weekly lesson is drawn from the readings assigned for the Sunday Eucharist) is used in our first, second and third grade children’s classrooms.

The senior grades—fourth and fifth—use the Episcopal Children’s Curriculum (ECC), a theme-based approach to learning.
