The Bible Marketplace is our unique Sunday school for elementary age (grades K-5) children. The teaching approach of the Bible Marketplace is based upon a five-week rotation during which the children study the same Bible story in five different ways and using five different learning intelligences. Each week, all the children meet for approximately 15 minutes in the Temple for group activities beginning at 9:45 a.m. before separating into the five rooms or stations.
- The Temple - Music & Movement or Games
- Mary's Garden - Cooking and Hospitality
- The Carpenter's Workshop - Art or Science
- Joseph's Playhouse - Drama & Storytelling
- Scribes & Scrolls - Video Learning
The rooms are decorated and equipped for their unique emphasis and provide lots of opportunity for hands on learning. The children learn about the Bible story by acting it out on stage or in the puppet theater, preparing food that complements the story, or by playing games and singing songs, etc.
The Bible Marketplace is located on the lower level of the administration building of the church and must be experienced to fully comprehend. We'll see you there on Sunday!
