Elementary Children
sunday school
Christ Our Shepherd offers the SHINE: Living in God’s Light curriculum for elementary children, PreK to 5th grade. Through music, scripture, Godly play discussion, and activities, kids explore a new Bible story each week. Parent pages are sent home to encourage further exploration as a family.
music
Christ Our Shepherd is well known for its music programs. Beginning with programs for elementary children, Christ Our Shepherd offers opportunities for children to sing and play instruments. Both of these programs are on Wednesday afternoons.
sKIDdles is a fun way for children to engage with music and movement. Children sing several times in worship throughout the year.
Children learn music basics through handbells, chimes, and singing. Participants perform during worship services several times throughout the year. M&Ms also perform a musical each semester, which offers opportunities to learn drama skills and gain self-confidence while reinforcing Bible stories.

Our kids had a great time this year! Counselors from Lutheridge, our church camp in North Carolina bring camp on the road to Christ Our Shepherd. Kids going into 1st through 6th grade participate in worship, Bible lessons, games, crafts, and fun. Camp is an awesome opportunity to grow closer to God and friends at church. We usually spend one day at Palmetto Road.
We hope you can join us next summer!
