God's Place is our rotation-model Christian education program
for children in grades kindergarten through 5th. Children attend
worship with their family at 10:00 a.m. and leave for God's Place
after the children's message at approximately 10:20 a.m. This
program, in place during the school year, uses a multisensory
approach to teach children about God's love and timeless messages
to us found in the scriptures. For more information on the rotation
model of Christian education, visit the Workshop Rotation Model
Homepage.
At PCLG, we have five elementary classes: kindergarten, 1st
grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th/5th combination. Kindergarten
stays in their own room for the morning while 1st through 5th
have four rotation sites: Seaside Stories (stories and drama),
Creation Station (art and science), Milky Way Movie Theater (video
and discussion) and Holyword Squares (games). The children learn
one story over the course of several weeks by visiting each of
these sites. Adult guides take the children to their rotation
sites each Sunday and provide nurturing support.
Classes are offered all year and include a Bible story, snacks,
crafts, and playground fun.

and then proceed as a group to the Social Hall for God's
Place Gathering. |

During Gathering time the
children hear announcements, collect offering and sing songs.
The Guides then take the children to their classrooms. |

Parents pick up their children
from the rotation classroom, according to the schedule posted

schedule and will be in their own room. |
