Youth Education

Children's Church

Currently during the 10:00 AM Sunday morning service, is a Sunday School class for Pre K- grade 1.  Parents may drop children off before the service starts and pick them up after its conclusion.  They are enjoying the Hands-On Bible curriculum from Concordia Publishing. Teachers use real-world objects to teach Bible truths.  Kids dive in and get involved, learning as they explore and engage.

Grades 2-5 also meet during the 10:00 AM Sunday morning service.  Kids begin the service with their families and are dismissed prior to the sermon.  They are using a combination of the Middle Grade curriculum from Concordia Publishing House and Bible Blitz curriculum from Group Publishing.  With lessons drawn directly from the Bible, kids discuss biblical truths and apply what they learn in engaging projects and learning games. 

Vacation Bible School
During the summer we have a week long Vacation Bible School.  We also plan several      Fun Day trips to locations in Door County and Green Bay, such as; Peninsula State Park,        The N.E.W. Zoo in Green Bay, The Hands On Art Studio or Bay Beach Amusement Park.

 

 

Middle & Senior High School Youth

Wednesday nights are extremely busy at Prince of Peace. On any given Wednesday night, you will find 8-10 high school youth and 12-15 middle school youth participating in our Youth Education Program. Students start arriving at 5:30 pm for a meal prepared by a different parent volunteer each week. Parent involvement is essential in promoting the importance of having a solid Christian education to our kids.

At 6:30 pm the middle school and high school students gather together for an ice breaker game. Then Pastor Nathan Lewis leads us in music and announcements before we break up for a Scriptural Lesson. Doug and Liane Quakkelaar take the high school youth to discuss topics of interest like “Lasting Relationships” and “Evolution vs. Creation.” Randy Watermolen works with the middle school youth on the fundamental lessons of Christianity. The 8th grade students spend one Wednesday a month with Pastor Nathan Lewis in preparation for their confirmation in May. On those days, Beverly Engineer teaches the remaining 6th & 7th grade girls about becoming a woman of Christ.

Some highlights of this summer’s & fall’s activities include:

• Overnight trip to Life-Fest in August
• Tailgate Party to kickoff the year in September
• HS/MS Youth attended a concert at the Family Worship Center
• MS Youth made Halloween decorations with Pine Crest residents in October
• MS Youth fasted and did community projects on Nov. 17
• HS Youth attended the movie “Fire Proof”
• HS Youth Scavenger Hunt
• HS/MS Youth serve breakfast once a month.
• HS Youth perform skits and MS/HS youth sing during our monthly youth service. 
• HS youth have been working with Tom Mulinix on guitar lessons with the intent to have them perform at our services once a month.

Confirmation Program

Our confirmation program is geared toward 7th and 8th grade students. They join the Middle & High School Youth on Wednesday evenings for supper, fellowship, music and devotion time. The youth are taught Biblical teachings and how to teach and share these teaching with their friends. They learn how to use their Bibles as a tool for their own future growth and a tool to share God’s Word with others.
