Christian Education "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it"    Proverbs 22:6
Christian education (Sunday school) is available for all ages from September to early June. The program uses a curriculum entitled The Whole People of God, an inter-generational, lectionary-based study. Most classes and many of the regular sermons will focus on the Bible reading of the week.

The following classes are offered on Sunday at 9:30 AM:

  • Preschool / Kindergarten & Grade 1 / Grades 2 & 3 / Grades 4 & 5 / Grades 6 & 7 / Grades 8 & 9 / Grades 10 to 12
  • Students learn to express themselves as young Christians through Bible study, mission work, and community service. Included in this year's mission work was participation in "Operation Christmas Child," in which the students filled and sent shoe boxes with personal care items, clothing, and toys to people in areas affected by war. Through offerings and fundraisers last year, the youth of the church donated the Bibles for the new sanctuary. This year, offerings collected by the youth will be sent to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Fund, which helps communities adversely affected by crisis and catastrophic events.
  • Adult Forum
  • This group examines a wide range of contemporary religious issues and topics. Through discussion of current books on a variety of spiritual topics, the Bible, and other curriculum materials, we aim to enrich our spiritual lives and increase our discipleship. Usually four to six separate studies of various length are scheduled each year.  All are open to any adults who are interested. This year, the forum is studying the book Steward: Living As Disciples in Everyday Life.

  • Adult Bible Study
  • Members of this group study a selected Bible reading and consider how God's Word still applies to His people in their everyday life.

Other opportunities for Christian education:

  • Preschool and Kindergarten
  • Four- and five-year-olds participate in A Time for Young Christians, a children's sermonette, during the worship service. The children are then excused to attend Children's Church. Children's Church uses Bible stories and lessons to teach the basics of what it means to be a Christian.
  • Vacation Bible School
  • Children ages 3 years through completed 6th grade are welcome to share in a week of songs, Bible lessons, drama, arts and crafts, games, and snacks.  All children who attend Gwynedd Square Presbyterian Church and all children in the surrounding community are invited to attend.  Call the church office for dates and times.
  • Kirkwood Camp
  • An overnight Bible camp located in the Poconos, Kirkwood is run by the Philadelphia Presbytery. Campers attend different week-long sessions for specific age groups, grades 2 through 12, during June, July, and August. The programs provide experiences in sports, fellowship, games, Bible study, leadership, volunteer work, camping, and outdoor adventure. Costs vary depending on the length and focus of program selected. Scholarships are available; inquire at the church office for more information.
  • Youth Groups
  • Students in grades 7 through 12 are welcome to attend the meetings of the SLUGs (Students Living Under God), which combine Christian education, fellowship, and mission activities. Students in grades 4 through 6 may join a similar group, FISH (Fellowship In Serving Him).
