Sunday School meets every Sunday during worship for ages three through 5th grade. Children begin in the worship service and participate in a special Children’s Time message. After Children’s Time, they are dismissed with their teachers to the education hour for an enhanced learning experience using multiple intelligence learning curriculum. 

On the first Sunday of every month, the children will start out in the service and go to Memorial Hall for the message for Children's Time and other activities. They will come back into the service to celebrate communion with their families and remain for the rest of the service.

Nursery is available for parents with children up to 3 years of age to watch the service together in our nursery, offering toys, books and games to engage the toddlers.

Confirmation is available for 8th graders to prepare for membership at St. Paul and the wider body of Christ.

Youth Group meets in the Christian Education Wing at the start of worship service and is for youth ages 6th-12th grade. Youth share discussions about faith and learn how to put faith in action. They participate in several mission activities throughout the year, such as The 30 Hour Famine Project and World Vision mission support. 

Growing in faith means deepening our relationship with God, with one another, in biblical knowledge, and in our hearts. All of our Christian Education programs at St. Paul United Church of Christ offer a variety of opportunities to come together and share our struggles and successes along life's journey, for children, youth and adults. 

Book Clubs are seasonal groups typically meeting between September and May during our church year. Groups are held at St. Paul twice a month on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm. A non-fiction book relevant to a variety of topics is chosen for each discussion.  These classes are focused on advanced theological discussion. For more information call the church office at (847) 381.0460 with questions and for registration! Our Spring 2024 book series, "Think On These Things", is focusing on the book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, by Tim Alberta. The prologue and Chapters 1 and 2 will be discussed on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 at 7:00 pm.

Summer Video Discussions are group nights hosted during the summer months when individuals view a video on their own and then spend time discussing the ideas and topic themes the video generates around the table. We have just ended our 2023 summer series and have enjoyed many thought-provoking and spirited discussions that help to stretch us, grow us and even convict us to keep learning and fuel us to continue bringing God's love into our world.

Disciple Bible Study is a 32 week class of in-depth study of The Bible, and classroom learning that requires the participants to make a commitment to their own spiritual growth, as well as to the growth of others. The class is not a commitment a person makes lightly, but it is one that offers new life to all those who make that commitment seriously! For more information about the next class call the church office at (847) 381.0460.
