Church School called FBC: Faith By Connections. Children in the
Kindergarten to 2nd Grade and 3rd to 5th Grade Classes move through
four classrooms designed with the variety of learning styles in mind.
Key biblical stories are explored for 3-4 weeks through different
media in “Workshops.” Adult “Shepherds” move with the children and
provide continuity. Come visit any Sunday at 11 a.m. from
September to June! For more information on FBC’s schedule or
programming, please contact us, or to learn more about the Rotation
Model, visit www.rotation.org.
Workshop Rooms
Designed and decorated by volunteers over the summer of 2006, our
new classrooms are meant to provide a comfortable and inspirational
setting where children can learn about the Bible and the history of our
faith.
Creation Station is our
Art,Science, Nature,
and Cooking space.
storytelling, to acting out their own biblical scenes, to examining the
night sky for signs of the Magi’s star, this room allows children to
travel back in time to the biblical era. This also is the usual
setting where students enjoy Audio-Visual presentations of the Bible
stories and reflect together on their meaning.
Our Computer Lab “Bible Bytes” is a
place to research and learn, and to
create using current technology.
So-named because students can be oriented to different activities
on each wall, Studio 360 is our space for active movement, music
learning, and game-show type quizzes. Featuring “Ezekiel’s Wheel”
and stocked with board games and other game equipment, Studio
360 is a place for play. In addition, a whole wall is dedicated to
maps and charts that allow students to place the biblical stories
they hear geographically and chronologically.
