Coronado provides a variety of educational opportunities for children.
SUNDAY MORNING OPPORTUNITIES: During the school year, children's Sunday School Classes are held from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the Education Wing. Coronado offers the following classes for Preschool through Elementary:
Preschool ages 3-4
Kindergarten - Grades 1
Grades 2-3
Grades 4-5
Children in grades K- 3 follow the Rock Solid curriculum.
Rock Solid: Building a Heart of Faith is more than just a Sunday school curriculum for children. Research shows that a child’s faith is developed through interacting with adults of faith. Faith cannot be taught -it must be caught! Rock Solid is a relationship-building faith journey, developing:
• A child’s personal connection to God as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ
• Friendships among children
• Bonds between parents, leaders, and children
With Rock Solid, children are given examples and then encouraged to apply the weekly Bible story and faith experience to their everyday lives. Children do more than just memorize Bible verses - they experience God’s message through consistency, community-building, application, and dedication and commitment. Rock Solid creates a sacred space for children to know God and become lifelong followers of Jesus.
JUNIOR CHURCH:Junior Church is offered at the Sunday 11:00 a.m. worship service. The children begin worship in the sanctuary with their parents and then are dismissed to Room 116. Junior Church incorporates Bible stories, worksheets, games, and crafts.
