Kindergartners
Under the guidance of nurturing and experienced teachers, children learn the epic Bible stories through storytelling, art and music activities in self-contained classrooms.

1st through 6th Graders
Named by AHCC's children, the Spirit Hill program is based on a rotation model where children are immersed in a fully interactive learning experience - learning through art, drama, film, storytelling, music, movement, cooking, outreach, Bible study and worship. First through sixth graders rotate each week through rooms transformed into a temple, grill, art center and movie room, where they study one epic Bible story for a four-week period. Children receive the benefit of learning the Bible lesson with a variety of teachers, while "shepherds," church volunteers from teenagers to grandparents, attend church school with one class for an entire curriculum year, providing a constant presence and familiar, friendly face.

Spirit Hill depends on volunteers from our membership. In fact, there are nearly 150 people who give their time teaching, being shepherds or helping in other ways. These adults are engaged, enthusiastic and caught up in the Spirit. No special skills are needed. You just need to love children and be willing to help them with their faith journey.
