Myrtle Fillmore believed our mission was not to “entertain the children, but instead, to draw them out.” Our Youth Education curriculum is an approach or philosophy which affirms that the curriculum–that which is to be learned or known–lives within the adult, child or teen, themselves. It moves us past the belief that teachers have all the answers and need to impart them to the students. Instead, there is a realization that all of us are uniquely unfolding on our spiritual path, having access to the Spirit within.
Our curriculum is a process of spiritual support used to assist our youth and the church community in co-creating successful living. It honors the inherent wholeness and wisdom within each one of us, and utilizes storytelling and experiential creative expression to “draw out” the Truth we already know. The process helps us to explore spiritual principles and to become aware of how the principles operate in our lives.
Our youth education program is held during the Sunday celebration. The youth start out in the sanctuary for the first part of the service and then are excused to attend Youth education. They rejoin the congregation at the close of the service to share their activities and participate in the final song. They remain for the fellowship period.
