Why Rotate?

By slowing down the rate of story change, the Workshop Rotation Model deepens the student's experience and memory, while allowing the teachers to get creative and not have to prepare entirely new lessons each week. Bible literacy improves when the same story is taught through different work shops over 5 to 6 weeks. Each workshop focuses on a different creative learning style or "intelligence," which broadens memory. Teacher preparation time is reduced from every week to every 5 or 6 weeks. This also allows the teacher to improve their lesson and consider more creative approaches because they aren't having to come up with something new each week. Teachers are recruited for the workshop of their strength and choice. Traditional boring classrooms become transformed into fun, inventive workshops. Students anticipate something new each week, and teaching supplies and equipment are organized by workshop. Creative Workshop environments signal quality to parents, and are attractive to visitors our  and kids! Flexible scheduling depending on the size of your church, chosen story, creative inspiration, or calendar need. Children will become very familiar with 8 to 12 Bible stories per year!

Grades 6 - 12

Youth Ministry calls for passion, patience, and faithfulness – pointing out the sacred in the midst of the chaos of adolescence and walking faithfully with young people as they transition from child to young adult. Youth Ministry is a bridging ministry of education, connection, formation, and hopefully, transformation.

We meet for Sunday School in the Amy West Building across the parking lot each Sunday.
