Godly Play is a Montessori-style learning environment focused on the needs of children at this place on life’s journey. The Godly Play approach teaches classical Christian language in a way that enhances the child’s authentic experience of God. Our teachers ask questions, wondering aloud about stories and ideas, and encourage creative play.

We invite Godly Play students to attend worship with their families until the Time for the Child in All of Us, and then go to their classroom to meet their teachers for the day's lesson. 

While COVID-19 restrictions were in place, our Godly Play teachers recorded their lessons. These lessons are still available on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/stjohnuccfreeport/videos so that children and families can watch and discuss them together. These videos can be found by searching "Godly Play."

Whirl is a multi-age classroom that uses a curriculum by Sparkhouse to teach Bible stories and continue children’s growth in faith. This class encourages children to ask questions, interpret Scripture in community, and connect with God and one another, using videos that follow the Whirl characters' adventures.
