Sunday School for Children ages 3 through the 6th grade. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is the name of Good Shepherd’s religious education curriculum.

Children in the 6th grade may opt to attend Junior Sunday School for children in grades 6-8.

Children’s Chapel is offered during the first half of the 9:00 AM and 11:05 AM services. Two age groups are available: preschool-kindergarten and first-sixth grade. Children join their parents in church in time for Holy Communion. The chapel service offers children an opportunity to study the Scripture lessons appointed for the day at their own level of interest. Reflection on the Sunday scriptures may include shared dialogue, crafts, or music opportunities. |
