Christian Education

Our Christian Education program is designed to develop, nurture, and deepen the faith of people of all ages in the church.

We have a nursery for children aged infant – 2 years old. This is attended by a registered nurse, who loves the children and keeps them busy and happy during worship services. There is also a paging system for parents who want to leave their child in the nursery. If a problem arises, the parent is contacted immediately. The nursery is located on the eastside of the Christian Education Area in Room 3.

It is a combination of "rap" sessions on topics that are important to Youth today, sports and fun activities, and service opportunities. Our Youth group is in contact with other youth groups around Long Island, and enjoys having retreats and other social events together.
Adult Education is a variety of opportunities for adults to gather for presentations and discussions. This includes Bible Studies, book studies, and current events. Some of the classes take place on Sunday mornings and some on weeknights. This brings together a diverse group of people who appreciate the chance to learn and grow together spiritually.

Enhancing our education programs are our two church libraries. The Stuart W. Van Cott Memorial Library is located off the Reception Room in the front of the church. It has over 4,000 literary works including an exceptional collection of books on the world’s religions. The Florence M. Crowell Children’s Library is located in the west wing of the Christian Education Area. It offers a good selection of books and growing selection of videos and tapes. These are made available to the children following the Church School, and are part of the programs that the library sponsors.

There is a good spirit of cooperation and excitement in this area of Christian Education. There is something of interest for everyone. Young and old enjoy the many opportunities for learning and for getting to know each other in this intergenerational community.
