Our goal is to create a loving, grace-filled community where kids and families learn about God, grow in faith, build relationships, and are empowered to serve.

Sunday Mornings at Sammamish Hills

 
           Kid’s Church -  All ages begin Sunday mornings with Pr. John and Pr. Eric at kid’s church in the 
           sanctuary.

During the 9:00 Service:

Sunday School is offered to young people ages 3-5th grade. We participate in a Sunday School worship time including singing, praying, and an offering, then we engage in fun and crafts that encourage discussion about the day’s lesson.

During the 10:30 Service:

Primary Sunday School: Young people ages 3- 3rd grade participate in Sunday School large group worship time with singing, prayers, offering, and an interactive introduction to the story for the day.  Then they split into grade level groups that explore the story in-depth through activities and crafts that encourage discussion.

Dragon Slayers: 4th and 5th graders go to the Dragon Slayer’s class, where they learn to put faith into practice in everyday situations. Instead of joining us for a large group worship time, Dragon Slayers spend the entire time digging into Scripture, learning about different challenges they may face in life, as well as how to combat these “dragons”. They also share personal experiences and pray for one another.

A special note to Parents with Children:

Children are welcome at all of our worship services. Worship activity bags are available at the Information Desk in the Narthex (lobby). If needed, the Quiet Room is in the left rear of the church and is equipped with a speaker and window so that those providing childcare might continue to follow the service.

We believe that parents are the primary faith formers of their children which is why we have built into our ministry "Worship with Your Family Sundays." These Sundays will coincide with significant moments in the year of the church when our kids will witness or participate in milestones in their life of faith and the life of the church.

Faith Tools You Can Use

In Sunday School, we model the Faith Inkubators Faith 5: 1) Share highs and lows, 2) Read scripture, 3) Talk about the scripture or retell the story in a unique way, 4) Pray for one another and the world, and 5) Bless one another and the world. Download a copy of the guide here.

We encourage you to practice the Faith 5 at home.  Every week you will receive a message from Pastor Eric to help you meet this goal.  Additionally, every third Sunday of the month Pastor John and Pastor Eric will host a Faith 5 Family Night in the fellowship hall.  This will be a time for games, food, singing, scripture, prayer and blessing.  If you would like to be even more involved in Sunday School, or have questions, please contact Pastor Eric at preric@shlc.org or Kristine Mantey at kmantey@shlc.org.
