Education Classes
At First, continuing education and learning is important and Bible classes are offered for all ages from 3 years through adults.
Adult Classes
Adult classes are taught on Sunday mornings during the Education Hour from 9:30 – 10:15 AM. Classes are different every quarter and topics range from studying books of the Bible and other theological books, to classes on parenting and current issues, and a variety of other things. These classes are open to everyone and a nursery and Bible class is available in the Education Building.
How the Nations Rage by Jonathan Leeman: Meets in the Church Basement
This will be a time to think critically about how politics, church and government interact with each other. We’ll be exploring how Christians can think biblically about our words, tweets and other interactions in the public square, and how we can honor Christ in that sphere.

Year-round, anyone is welcome to join at any time. Join us as we gather to pray for First CRC, our church family, and for the Lynden community.

1st–3rd Grade Class: Meets in the Education Building
This fall, our 1st–3rd graders will grow in faith and community as they explore the Bible together, following its story chronologically through The Gospel Project curriculum. Each week’s lesson points to the truth that the gospel changes everything. Through discussion, Scripture reading, and engaging activities, kids will see that the Bible isn’t just a collection of stories—it’s one incredible, unified story: God’s story of redemption.

Children’s Church
Children, ages 3 years – 3rd grade, attend the first part of the worship service with their parents. Once dismissed, they are escorted to Children’s Church in the Education Building by our ministry team. Children’s Church is a time to engage in worship, gospel-centered teaching, games, and activities. Following large group time, children break out into small groups led by our ministry team and designed to apply what they have learned. The Gospel Project curriculum is designed for children to learn God’s story of redemption as we study the Bible chronologically from Genesis to Revelation.
Nursery (Infants & Toddlers)
A nursery is available upstairs in the Education Building during the 10:30 AM worship service and is staffed by volunteers from First CRC. A paging system is available for contacting parents, if they are needed during the worship service.
