Education Philosophy
We believe that religious education is a life-long pursuit for Christians. We emphasize the
Sunday education hour and Bible studies for kids and adults alike. Our various education
opportunities allow kids and adults to further their study of our faith and the Bible,
as well as enabling us to benefit from fellowship and discussion with other members.
Education Offerings
Sunday School — There are no Sunday school classes from June through August but the Nursery is open.
We do offer a Summer Sunday Adult Bible study from 9:15 AM-9:45 AM.
Currently Pastor Larson is leading the adults in a study on the basic teaching of our church and other churches.
We will resume the study on "The Gospel of John" in September.
Wednesday Night Live —
Wednesday Night Live is a concept that incorporates fun, fellowship,
music rehearsals, dinner, and religious education. Kids in grades 3 through 8 are encouraged
to attend from 5:00 to 7:00 each Wednesday during the school year. This 2-hour block
of time incorporates religious education, dinner, and a rotating series called music-arts-worship.
Pre-Confirmation and Confirmation Classes —
Confirmation consists of a 2-year program at Ascension,
which can be begun in 7th grade. Pre-confirmation classes are offered to kids in 3rd through 6th grades.
Pre-confirmation and confirmation classes supplement and complement Sunday school, providing
a solid religious education in preparation for Confirmation. Pre-confirmation
and confirmation classes are held during the school year as part of Wednesday Night Live.
Vacation Bible School —
Traditionally offered for a week during the summer, Vacation Bible School
is a fun and educational opportunity for kids ages 3 through 6th grade.
This Summer our Vacation Bible School and LRR Day Camp will be held from July 14-July 18.
Contact Kathy Johnson at 303-794-4636 for more information.
Kids’ Worship —
Held during part of the 10:30 worship service, this communicates the lessons from
the church service in a format that is easily understood and absorbed by kids ages 3 through 2nd grade.
There is no Kids' Worship from June-August. We will resume in September.
