Education For All Ages

Children's Ministry

     Elder Glenda Nolt

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not stray." Proverbs 22:6

Children's Ministry, also know as Christian Education, is the work of instructing and guiding children in Christian faith and life. This includes planning and overseeing the educational programs and activities available to young people in our church. This includes our nursery (open from 9:15 - 11:00am each Sunday) and church school classes on Sunday. Children attend the first part of worship service with their families, then are dismissed to their classes for Bible study and activities. Currently three classes are held: Pre-K, ages 2-4; Primary, ages 5-8; and Middler, ages 9-12.

The children are also included in the church's mission activities (i.e. Peacemaking Offering), as well as many special projects and events during the year.
Confirmation classes are held once a year, and all third grade students receive their own Bible. By focusing on God, scripture, and fun, Sunday School at STHPC is a treat for both the children and their families!

Youth Ministry

     Elder Janet Keenan


Youth Ministry hopes focus the youth on the role Jesus Christ plays in their lives. In 2003, the "God Squad" will be writing a group mission statement and looking for more opportunities for community outreach. The youth will also become more involved in the workings of the church and it’s place in the community. All of these activities will help them focus on their roles as a Christians in our world today. This year also holds plans to split into separate Junior High and Senior High classes. God has a plan for our youth. May this plan be shown to them through the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Adult Ministry

     Elder Karl Miller

It is the goal of the Adult Ministry to build disciples and grow in our walk with the Lord. Adult Sunday school is held at 8:30am (before worship), and runs for a series of 5-10 weeks at a time. Please contact the office for information on our current series.
