The Rivermont Youth Sunday School program is an extension of the overall Youth
Group program. While youth ranging from middle school through high school
occasionally meet together for announcements, meals, and a few outings, they are
almost always divided by age when it comes to Sunday School. Middle School
(grades 6th-8th) youth have their own maturity levels, needs, and desires, which
are most often distinctly different than those of High School age (grades
9th-12th). Each Sunday morning beginning at 9:45 a.m., both Middle and High
School youth meet in the church youth room for fellowship and announcements.
After announcements, generally at 10:00 a.m., both groups separate into their
own age groups for Sunday School. Each group is led by an adult member of the
congregation who is carefully selected based upon their unique experiences and
how that experience can be used to further the spiritual growth and maturity of
our youth. Classes generally run from 10:00 a.m. until 10:45 a.m.
Curriculum for the Youth Sunday Schools covers a seven year rotation to ensure
that youth coming through the program are introduced to all of the basics
associated with Christian Bible Study without undue repetition during their
seven year involvement with the youth group. Topics for Youth Sunday School
programs are biblically based and referenced. Topics include bible history and
interpretation; the basics of the Presbyterian belief and comparison to other
denominations; Christ's miracles and his numerous examples for how we should
live our lives; study of various books of the Bible for basic overall bible
understanding and knowledge; study of the prophets as to their importance to the
old testament and even to life today; personal relationships with friends,
family, and individual relationships with Christ; interpersonal skills needed
for maturing yourh to reach adulthood; current issues and events; and other
topics that help our youth understand their importance in this world.
Come join the Rivermont Youth for Sunday School as they expand their hearts,
minds and souls in determining what God has planned for their lives.
Note: There is information about the Sunday night youth groups elsewhere on
the website.
