Children’s Ministry

Children are important to Jesus, and they’re important to us as well

Sunday School

Metropolitan Memorial Campus – 3401 Nebraska Avenue NW

Sundays, 10-10:55 AM BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

Godly Play classes

Godly Play is a Montessori-inspired way of teaching children the stories of our faith that encourages wonder, imagination, and exploration.

Little Wonders (PreK and Kindergarten): Room 206

This class uses the books Young Children and Worship and Following Jesus for Godly Play-type stories that are especially welcoming to 3–5-year-olds.

Joyful Spirits (Grades 1, 2, and 3): Room 203

The Joyful Spirits explore the Bible and Christian faith through the core Godly Play stories.

Jesus Followers (Grades 4 and 5): Room 204

Older elementary students have a chance to deepen their wondering, understanding, and faith using some of the more complex Godly Play lessons.

Youth Sunday School

Youth (Grades 6-12): Room 200

With the J2A curriculum, we explore faith, doubt, community, and what it means to live as a Christian today

Children’s Worship Bulletins

Every week, we mail children’s worship bulletins to each child in the congregation. These bulletins are related to the scripture for the week, and contain coloring pages, puzzles, and games. If your child is not yet receiving these, please contact Rev. Janet at jcraswell@nationalchurch.org with your child’s name, age, and your home mailing address.
