K - 5 Sunday School is offered

for the 9:30am & 11:00am worship services.

At Desert Spring Church, we know that children are born with an innate sense of wonder and faith. Our teachers and curriculum provide a foundation of experiences on which our children can build a life of learning and spiritual growth. At Desert Spring, children will feel the love of God and want to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

At 9:30am, children (K - 5) are taught by grade level. We use a rotational model curriculum that is age appropriate. Each unit takes 4 - 6 weeks to complete, but has weekly stand alone lessons.

At 11:00am, children (K - 5) are taught in a one room setting. We use a rotational model curriculum that is age appropriate for each student. Each unit takes 4 - 6 weeks to complete, but has weekly stand alone lessons.

Both Sunday School times engage the kids in discussion of the scripture and message. Teachers lovingly answer questions such as: How does that scripture apply today? Is God saying something to ME in this scripture?  How do I use this scripture in my daily life? 

Teachers offer activities, games, or crafts to enhance the understanding of the scripture while engaging the children in learning fun. Desert Spring Children's Ministries encourages families to incorporate scripture study and prayer into their daily activities.

** Teachers are needed for the 9:30am and 11:00am hour. All curriculum, supplies and training is provided. 

In keeping with safe sanctuary policies, all teachers are background checked.

Read with Rascal is a reading program for children of elementary age. Children bring a few of their favorite books and find it fun and challenging to read to the certified therapy dogs.

The children see the dogs are non-judgmental, so they feel comfortable reading to them. Dogs listen attentively while allowing children to read at their own pace. A child’s success in school depends on great reading skills and this is the perfect place for the child to accomplish this.

Adults relax, and enjoy the children and dogs.  Younger children listen, run around and play. We serve refreshments and have handouts for the children.

All ages are welcome!

Read with Rascal dogs are registered through national organizations: Alliance of Therapy Dogs, Michael’s Angel Paws, Independent Therapy Dogs, Inc., etc.

This program is sponsored by Desert Spring United Methodist Church, however, NO CHURCH AFFILIATION IS NECESSARY to participate! Read  with Rascal is free of cost to participants.
