First Presbyterian’s formal Sunday School program begins with the three-year-old class in the Nursery and extends through grade 5, after which the children graduate to our Youth Sunday School program.
Through the Live B.I.G. curriculum our children ages 3-5 come to know the love of God through Jesus; learn key Bible stories and what they tell us about God and how He wants us to live; and begin to take what they have learned into their everyday lives. The Live B.I.G. lessons are presented through music, art, dance, sign language, discussion, hands-on activities, and much more. These same lessons are reinforced and extended in Children’s Worship. Our Preschool classes are located on the first floor of the Clark Building.
 The process of growing as disciples continues in grades 1-5 as children explore God’s Word with all of their senses in our interactive “Pathway2Truth” (P2T) Workshop Rotation Model. Every five weeks a theme or Bible story is selected as the focus for the rotation. Workshops are then designed to teach the story by using different learning styles and engaging the children in multiple ways. Each grade rotates to a different workshop each week, learning the same story, but in different ways. Our P2T classes are located on the second floor of the Clark Building in rooms decorated as The Temple, Joseph’s Workshop, Mary and Martha’s House, the Mount of Olives, the Sea of Galilee, and Heaven.com (our computer lab).
Through stewardship and mission projects, we teach our children about showing God’s grace by giving back to the world. The children annually collect an offering for Thornwell (a Presbyterian home for children) which uses the funds to buy clothing and school materials and pay medical expenses for children in need. They also participate in some of the yearly projects of First Presbyterian’s Mission Ministry.
For more information about Children’s Sunday School, or to offer your services as a teacher or other volunteer, please contact Jane Mullins (208-2139 / jmullins@fpcspartanburg.org).
