Faith Quest is a Rotation Model Sunday School for children ages 4-12.
What Is the "Rotation Model"?
This method teaches
major bible stories and concepts through kid-friendly, multi-media
workshops based on Howard Gardner’s theory of 'multiple intelligences'
(www.rotation.org). "Interpreters" (adult teachers) teach the same lesson several weeks
and kids rotate to a new workshop each week under the guidance of the "Tour
Guides" (teen teacher's assitants).
The benefits of this model are: repetition of ideas, totally engaging
activities, and the creation of attractive and interesting physical spaces
for teaching and learning!
What Is This Journey?
On each journey we will visit:
- Loaves and Fishes Cafe: where you will prepare foods from the bible;
for our casserole ministry; or to share at coffee hour.
- Noah’s Art: where you will paint/sculpt/carve/weave/etc.
- ACTS Studio: where you will dance, create music, produce puppet shows,
dramatic skits, videos.
- Mission Caravan: make connections to the world through helping and
serving activities i.e Missions, care kits, letters/cards to shut-ins.
