5th & 6th grade
Mount Olivet establishes a dynamic partnership with families in the Christian education and faith development of their children. Mount Olivet 5th and 6th graders participate in The Way, a pre-Confirmation program Sunday mornings, instead of traditional Sunday Church School classes. This is an exciting program for young people as they graduate from Sunday into Confirmation on their faith journey.
Students in 5th and 6th grades are invited to enhance their faith through educational, service, and fellowship activities. Students experience the importance of Christian friendships and faith for life. We focus on Jesus' call to serve others.
While the students learn about the Bible, Martin Luther, and other typical Sunday School lessons, the program has several differences:
- Our format is unique – with large and small group time to build friendships and get to know one another. After a large group game, quiz show, skit, or devotions, we break into small groups based on our grades.
- We have our own events – 5th graders will have a Bible class and presentation with their parents in October. 6th graders will have Holy Communion in the Spring to mark the beginning of their Confirmation journey.
