Sunday School

Every Sunday during the school year, we have two Sunday School classes that meet: one for younger children (preK-4th grade) and one for middle school students (5th grade and up.) Sunday School begins at 9:30am and ends around 10:15am, giving participants an opportunity to enjoy Fellowship Time before Sunday Worship begins at 10:30am.


Read on below for more information about why we use multi-age classrooms! 

One-Room Model

We know that Sunday school shouldn't be a time of entertainment, but engagement. It shouldn't just be a time where children receive information, but where they share it, as well. We have a strong commitment to building up our children to be active, growing disciples of Jesus Christ.


Because of that commitment, our children's Sunday school operates with the One-Room Model. Like the old one-room schoolhouses from the prairie days, this model doesn't separate children based on age. Instead, it fosters an environment where children of different ages can learn alongside one another and even teach one another. A fourth-grader can take ownership of her faith when she helps a first-grader absorb the lesson.


We think the One-Room Model is an effective model for making young disciples, and we know your child will have a blast!

Safe Gatherings Approved

At Wahoo First UMC, all of our volunteers who regularly interact with children, youth, or vulnerable adults are certified through Safe Gatherings, which includes abuse prevention training and a comprehensive background check.


We care about the well-being and emotional, physical, and spiritual health of everyone in our church, especially children. So with Safe Gatherings, we have a system in place to ensure that well-being.
