With the help of Spark Lectionary Sunday school curriculum, our teaching teams lead lessons each week at 10:30am, taken from the Sunday readings shared during worship. The children also focus on a particular mission project each year. We offer Spark classes for children ages birth-5th grade.
Sunday School
Children's Church
After the Children’s Sermon portion of the Sunday worship liturgy, children are invited to join a leaders in our Sunday School area for a message and activities based on the scripture readings for the day. They return to worship usually around the time of the prayers so they may participate in the Meal/Holy Communion part of the liturgy.
Joyful Noise Children’s Choir (grades K-6)
Led by Paula Nichols, the children will sing, play hand chimes, and have fun making music together that they will share with the congregation in worship. Joyful Noise participates in leading worship one Sunday every month.
ConnectFor: Fun, Family, Faith, & Fellowship
Connect For creates opportunities for families with children age birth to 5th grade to engage together in Biblical narrative, to apply faith practices to life, to take it outside of the church, and to serve others. We gather on the first Wednesday of each month from 6:30 to 7:00pm following our Wednesday Night Live dinner. To learn more, please contact Kat Whitt.
Moment For Moms
You absolutely deserve 90 minutes, one evening per month to relax, unwind, receive support, laugh, and learn! Together, we hope to work through the struggles and celebrate the joys of motherhood. All moms are invited. Childcare is provided. Usually meets from 6:30–8:00 p.m. on 3rd Thursdays. To learn more, please contact Kat Whitt.
Atonement Dad's Group
Dad’s Group provides time throughout the year for dads to connect with other dads outside of church, to make further acquaintances, connections, and be supported as a father. We’ve been known to have dinner, go out for trivia, or catch a local sporting event together.
Summer GIFT (Growing in Faith Together)
Each June, all ages from Atonement and beyond gather to celebrate the promises of God during a week-long gathering. Each year participants learn about God’s unconditional love for them, while learning practical ways they can serve others in Jesus name.
