Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matthew 19:14
Sunday School is an opportunity to learn together about God’s great love. The Gospel Project curriculum offers a Christ-centered study that helps children and adults understand how all Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, gives testimony to Jesus Christ. All the Sunday School classes study the same lesson, in an age-appropriate manner, which should lead to some interesting family discussions! We’ll learn that the Bible is not just a collection of stories, but one unified story–God’s story of redemption.

Children's Sunday School Reopening - March 21, 2021
Dear Parents of little disciples,
After careful consideration, planning, and prayer, we are delighted to inform you that we are opening an abridged version of the Sunday School for Pre-K through 5th grade beginning on Sunday, March 21st
Although we are opening this aspect of our regular programming, it will look different than previously as we make precautionary adjustments to ensure the safety of your children, our volunteers and staff. See below for more information on how this will look if you choose to utilize this resource on a Sunday morning.
KidCheck In- How Do I Sign Up?
- Download the KidCheck App onto your phone which can be found on St. Michael’s Church website- Children’s Ministries page.
- You must register all children you intend to check-in for Sunday School.
- Registering prior to drop-off ensures that we have adequate staff and volunteers based on our fixed capacity and space required to adhere to CDC guidelines.
- KidCheck confirmation check-in is located on the 1st floor of the loggia building.
What Will Check-In Look Like?
- There will be a quick wellness check that includes a health questionnaire.
- If a wellness check is passed, you will receive a name tag! One for your child and one for the guardian for pick-up.
- Handwashing and/or Hand Sanitizer will be readily available at Check-In.
- At this time, parents are unable to enter the Sunday School Classroom currently located in Kinloch room but parents can drop off their child at the entrance of Kinloch room.
Will My Child Be Safe Inside?
- Safety and health are our main priority! Social distancing protocols and face coverings will be required.
- Current Kinloch classroom will have a ratio of 1 Lead Teacher, 1 Teacher Helper and 1 Floater/HallWay Monitor. (all volunteers will undergo a wellness check prior to serving.)
- Kinloch Classroom will maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet from others who are not from your household.
- Occasionally, individually wrapped snacks will be provided and we advise you send your child with their own water bottle.
- Handwashing and/or Hand sanitizer will be available at all times.
What About the Germs?
- St. Michaels is fortunate to have staff that provide cleaning service. St. Michael’s will clean the facility before and after Sunday School concludes, in between services, and after church use on Sunday afternoon.
- On top of the consistent use of Clorox wipes, Lysol, hand sanitizer, and gloves, staff and volunteers are required to clean all surfaces and materials with an industrial cleaning solution in between services.
- Paid workers and Volunteers will be required to wear face coverings and/or face shields, gloves and pass weekly wellness checks.
We are constantly adapting and researching the best ways to ensure safety as we take the first step to reopening care for your children. As we do so, we ask that you pray with and for us, partner with us in grace, patience, and offer feedback as we adjust to this new normal. We are so excited to offer this to you and your family! We hope to see you soon!
