We're so glad you've come to check out our Sunday School programming!
If you have any questions or are interested in learning more, reach out to us at education@armourheights.org
Come join us for Sunday School! Our Sunday School programming is for ages 3-12 and runs every Sunday. Children will start in worship in the sanctuary and then are invited to join Kim and/or one of our adult church school leaders in our Sunday School classroom in the basement for singing, stories, wondering questions, prayer, and activities that allow the children to respond to what they have heard, seen and learned--all tied into a biblical theme.
We look forward to seeing you on Sundays at 10:30am!
We understand that not all children are comfortable leaving their families. There are pew packs available at the back of the sanctuary that can be taken to their seats so they can engage in quiet activities during the service.
Youth in grades 7+ are invited to stay in the sanctuary for all of worship or assist with the younger children as a Sunday School helper.
Sitting through all of worship can be difficult when it's something totally new; you may feel lost with everything that is being said. To help develop a deeper understanding of what's happening in worship and to help listen and reflect more intentionally, we have what we call "Worship Notes". This is a double sided page with prompts to fill in. Each prompt is meant to help you focus on different elements of the worship service through thinking, singing, drawing, reflecting and praying. You can pick one up from our ushers or click below to download it in advance.
For those youth who enjoy working with younger children, we invite you to volunteer during our Church School time with Kim. If you know you are coming ahead of time, send us an email to let us know. Even if you come to church last minute, we are happy to have you come volunteer with us. Your role will include participating in our child-centred worship by helping the children sing simple songs, and giving a helping hand to children as they respond to the day's story through various forms of creative arts.

This book is recommended for ages 5-8.
In our Bible, there are many metaphors for God — a father, a mother, the light, living water, the Good Shepherd and more. ‘Picturing God’ helps to bring these metaphors to life for children of all ages while encouraging them to develop their own idea about who God is for them.
At the end of the book, there is a list of Biblical references for each image depicted if families would like to learn more about the Bible’s many ways of picturing God.
