Education

Celebration Friends Preschool

Our carefully-screened team of loving teachers use a combination of different learning styles to teach and develop your three to five year old in a fun nurturing Christian environment. What these activities do is emphasize school readiness skills, large and small muscle coordination, and personal and play habits. They even have chapel time with Pastor Paul once a week singing songs and learning bible stories. Call 253-848-1098 to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Sunday School

Christian education is for all children of God ages 3-18. Classes are offered between the morning worship services from 9:15-10:15 am during the school year.

Adult Forum

Adult Forum is the grownup version of Sunday School. We study books in the Bible, relevant current religious topics or guest speakers come in to create a vibrant learning environment. This class runs from 9:15-10:15 am each Sunday morning during the school year.

Adult Forum during Lent: The Lord’s Prayer

March 18 Thy Kingdom come
March 25 Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
April 1 Give us this day our daily bread
April 8 No Class on Easter Sunday
April 15 . . . and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
April 22 . . . and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
April 29 For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen

Mark your calendar for fun at Celebration University (Celebrate U). We meet each Tuesday at church for dinner and an educational experience. Dinner is served at 6:00, devotions begin at 6:50, and classes and activities for all ages begin at 7:00 pm. We would love to have you join us for fellowship, fun, and an opportunity to get to know our Celebration Family in a setting other than Sunday morning. With activities for all ages, it’s a great way to introduce friends and neighbors to our congregation! Below is our spring schedule of fun and activities:
