Nursery:
Childcare is available

staff. The nursery is located on the ground floor of our main building and can be easily accessed from
the main entry doors off the lower parking lot.
Childcare
is also provided during weekday Bible study and for special congregational events (special services or fellowship events).

Children’s Sunday School:
With a goal
of building lasting, meaningful relationships between kids and God, kids and kids, and kids and adults, Our Redeemer's Sunday
School uses the FaithWeaver Friends curriculum Fall through Spring for 2 year olds
through 4th grade. At FaithWeaver Friends, each child experiences an incredible, personal friendship with Jesus
through opening celebrations and Discovery Centers. From crafts to music to snacks—every engaging activity drives
the weekly Bible Point home. And through it all, children discover they have a real friend in Jesus. Connecting
God’s Word to the learner’s real world moves learning beyond information to a growing relationship with Jesus
that transforms lives. Students understand that Jesus isn’t someone who lived years ago, but is alive today
and wants to be a part of their lives. During the opening celebration together, everyone joins in singing
and praising God. Then they explore the weekly Bible story in a lively, memorable way, digging into the Bible story
with a cuddly puppet named Theo who helps them remember the Bible Point. Kids do everything with their “Circle
of Friends” – a small multi-age group of 5 to 7 children. Because everyone stays together for the entire
quarter, Circles ensure friendship connections and personal attention. Multi-age groups really do work well together! Games, projects, snacks, and more! Kids jump into their Circles of Friends (small groups), and rotate through
action-packed Discovery Centers – where the Bible Point is reinforced at every surprising turn! Every activity
reinforces the week's Bible Point, so it's only natural for kids to live out the Bible Point in the following week.
Friends has kids "doing," "teaching," and "growing!" Join us each Sunday
from 9:40 a.m. until 10:40 a.m. in the Education Wing, downstairs in Room 303. Parents are encouraged
to attend with their younger children and experience Faith Weaver Friends for themselves. FaithWeaver
and FaithWeaver Friends are published by Group Publishing Company. While Group is a non denominational
publishing company that adheres to Christian beliefs, all materials from Group are reviewed to ensure they do not conflict
with the Lutheran Confession of the LCMS.
Summer Sunday School
Various Bible
studies and classes for children of all ages are offered year round during the Christian Education hour 9:40am-10:40am each
and every Sunday morning. During the summer months classes are often combined and room locations may change.
Please see Christian Education News and Events for our Summer Program information.
5th Grade Pre-Confirmation Class
While
our Children’s Sunday School goes through 4th grade we recently reviewed and modified our Confirmation
Program/.Middle School Program and added the Pre-Confirmation Class for fifth graders. The Board
of Christian Education felt that for students to have a meaningful and successful Confirmation experience that preparation
is key.
Pre-Confirmation class utilizes the Concordia Publishing House for the 5th and 6th grade (pre-confirmations materials).
Students will be introduced to the Concordia Study Bible, taught how to use the study bible, review the books of the
Old and New testament, memorize the books of the New testament, etc. In addition, students will study,
understand and memorize The Ten Commandments and The Apostles Creed and be instructed in an overview of The Law and Gospel. The Pre-Confirmation class meets in the Education Wing, downstairs
in Room 311.
