The Board of Christian Education is honored to provide opportunities for education and faith formation to our children and youth. Our mission is to educate and nurture children and adults in our faith; to teach our children respect and responsibility to God, to one another, our families, and our community by encouraging them to help others and be active and involved members of our church, community and world.
We teach Christian values and our faith in a fun, safe environment. We passionately believe that the children are our future, as well as our today. We are a very blessed church community with children who are well-loved and eager to learn, and for that we rejoice.
We are fortunate to have a thriving Church School program. We offer special care for children in our nursery program and more formal instruction for Pre-K through Grade 8.
Church School is in full session from the second Sunday of September (Catch the Spirit Sunday) through the third Sunday in May, just before Memorial Day Weekend.
Except for the first Sunday of each month, children are invited to worship with their parents for an opening portion of the 10:00 a.m. worship service. After the Children's Message, they go to their church school classes.
Our students learn about God's works and explore their faith through the Bible-based curriculum "Simply Loved" for our younger children and "Be Bold" for our older students.
The students enjoy a rotational classroom experience on the first Sunday of the month; they begin in their classrooms and then gather together in Congregational Hall for special activities. During "Rotational Sundays" we focus on community outreach and giving to others. We have plans to work with local groups to educate our students on resources right here in Wallingford.
Church School Classes end at 11:15 a.m.
We would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding Sunday School. Please call the church office to contact Madison Torre.

We are a vibrant church that is both steeped in history and on the move. We have been at the corner of Center Street and South Main Street since 1675 and yet, exciting new things are happening here.
