We have a class for every age group. All the primary classes meet on Sunday morning. The children participate in the service for about 20 minutes and then they are sung out and join their volunteer teachers. The youth tend to meet on Sunday evening but often are participatory in services and helping with younger children. Our volunteers are a very important aspect of our program and every RE family must volunteer to teach at some point in the year or help coordinate an age group level. We also have many volunteers from the adult congregation who help us. Every classroom group has a leader. The classroom age groupings and leaders for 2010-2011 are:

Pre school:

Primary school:

Middle School Youth Group: 6/7/8th graders Susan Burton/Liz Nolan-Greven

High School Youth Group: 9-12th:  Carla Barrett, Dennis Baute, and Amy Mueller

The nursery provides care for babies and toddlers. There are two paid sitters in the nursery every Sunday AM.
