PreK - 5th Grade
Our Children’s Ministry program at APC is thriving. Our Sunday School program, beginning its 213th year, is the longest continually run Sunday school in rural America. But, we are far from old and stodgy! We are continually reevaluating our program to bring lessons to our children which are informative, insightful, inventive, and relevant. Run by a devoted group of volunteers,

stepping stones
Grades 1&2
Our Stepping Stones program, designed children in 1st and 2nd grade, meets weekly on Thursdays from 5:15 - 6:30pm. We will gather in Schulte Hall and then move to the balconies overlooking the Little Tree lawn and playground.
We hope to spark an interest in musical discovery, teach children the fundamentals of music, help them identify their God-given gifts, hear Bible stories and learn simple Biblical truths, and involve them in age-appropriate Service Projects. This program, which is “more than a choir,” is a “stepping stone” on their faith journey which is also a step toward participation in our ROCK program as we mix Bible stories, crafts, games, and service into the weekly format!

Grades 3 - 5
Our ROCK (Rock On Christian Kids) program, designed for kids in 3rd through 5th grade,
meets weekly on Thursdays from 5:00 - 7:30pm in Schulte Hall.
Each night we share a game, a Bible study, a craft, and a home cooked meal. During the last hour of the night, the children participate in either the ROCK Choir or the ROCK Caring Kids groups. The Choir kids learn worship songs, learn about leading worship, and prepare for Christmas Eve worship and will deliver a musical message in the Spring. Our music plans also include chimes, xylophones, and drums! The Caring Kids learn about serving others, in kid-appropriate ways, locally and internationally.
