Sunday School

Growing in our faith, also sometimes called Christian Education or Christian Formation, is a journey of a life time. At St. Thomas, we take seriously our tagline, “Searchers, Seekers and Doubters Welcome” because we believe that all of us can find ourselves in one of those three categories at any given time. 

We strive to constantly learn and grow in our faith through worship, intergenerational events, bible studies, retreats, Sunday school classes and providing resources for individuals and families to use at home.

Children are an active part of everything at St. Thomas! On any given Sunday morning, you may find them serving as torch or book bearers (who doesn’t like carrying fire!), reading lessons, leading prayers, singing in the children’s choir, or handing out bulletins.   

Most Sundays from September to May, they start in classes in our parish house at 9:45 am and join their families in Worship at about 10:30. Classes are taught by volunteers who have completed Safe Church and are regularly trained by our clergy.

Our current classes include:

Godly Play (ages 4 through 1st Grade) is a Montessori based curriculum that encourages children (and adults!) to wonder about the stories and traditions of our faith and develop a language for talking about God. 

Seekers and Searchers (Grades 2 through 5) This age group continues with expansion lessons from Godly Play and also begins to learn about sacraments and worship.

JYG (Junior Youth Group; Middle School) During 2022-23, this group will be using Manna and Mercy to explore biblical themes, always considering issues of social justice and how faith interacts with our daily lives. Questions, debate and doubts are both welcomed and encouraged!
