CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR ALL AGES is 10am-10:45am on Sundays 

Children's Education begins September 13, 2026, and Education for Adults and Youth begins September 20, 2026!

Education is offered conveniently between our two services (both of which feature music and Holy Communion).  Some families come at 9am for worship and stay for education at 10am.  Some come at 10am for education and stay for worship at 11am.  Education is so important that we ensure education is accessible for the whole family, just as worship is for the whole family. 

The Rector's Bible Study is in person at 10am on Sundays in the parish hall (at the end of the main hallway).  It's a large class, mainly lecture in style, but also incorporates small break-out table discussion.  The class ranges from 30 to 60 people.  Please email   for information. This fall, rather than a Bible study or topical lecture, as in the past, the Rector will be using this time to engage members of the parish with long term, strategic discernment for the parish. This will be a three-fold process. First we will be unpacking our Year of Discernment with St. Francis' Springboro. Second, we will be reading through the book, You Are What You Love, by James K.A. Smith. Third, we will be discussing and thinking about the next mission horizon for St. George’s, based on the first two parts.

Group Bible Study is a more conversational Bible study; generally 8 to 12 gather in the Old Vicar's Office in the Lower Level Education Wing at the end of the hall. This friendly group asks questions, reflects together, and is eager to welcome you. If you're looking for a smaller and conversational Bible study option, this is a great choice!  This Fall, they will be studying the Gospel of John. The study is facilitated by Dan Litfin. Please email for information.

Middle School Bible Study for Grades 6-8 (Room 3) and High School Bible Study for Grades 9-12 (Room 6) is offered 10am-10:45am on Sundays in our youth room in the lower level education wing. In addition to Sunday morning Bible Study, our Youth Fellowship meets monthly for service, fellowship, and fun.  The two classrooms are located in the Lower Level Education Wing.  This Fall we are studying 1 & 2 Samuel, the Samuel-Saul-David story.  Please email   to learn more

"We will tell the next generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and His might, and the wonders that He has done." ~ Psalm 78:4b

Our Children's Ministry strives to partner with parents and provide a safe and welcoming environment for all children and their families to be formed as disciples - for children and parents to grow together as followers of Jesus.  

All our children's classes require two-deep, adult leadership with a storyteller and an assistant present at all times. Although our classes are taught by volunteers, all our volunteers are trained in "Safe Church" policies and guidelines as set forth by the Diocese of Southern Ohio, as well as they complete additional training in their respective roles.

Check out the different stages of learning and development in our Children's Education classes:

Children Pre-K through First Grade -- Let the Children Come   This class is a hands-on Montessori-style children's class involving short stories from Scripture, the colors of the church year, open play & exploration, arts & crafts, puppets, snacks, and fellowship with one another in love.

Children Second Grade through Third Grade -- Godly Play   Godly Play is a Montessori-style children's class that uses organization of space, time and attitudes to invite the children into God's Word, using a tactile method of teaching with handcrafted sets of wooden figurines, soft felt, and wicker baskets. In Godly Play, children learn through story, wonder, and play as they move through God's Word and the cycle of the church year. Children further engage as they respond through music, open-ended activities, and prayer. Utilizing a cyclical, spiral curriculum, lessons are revisited over time to allow for deeper, more abstract reflection through Sacred Stories, Parables, Liturgical lessons, and silence.

Children Fourth Grade & Fifth Grade -- What's Up   In this class, we start to put Bibles in kids' hands, and the children learn how to navigate God's Word through its books and chapters at an age-appropriate level. We broaden our spiral curriculum by going a little deeper into the stories of the Bible by learning the expanded, Enrichment lessons from Godly Play, discovering how the Gospel message of Jesus's saving Grace is threaded throughout the whole Bible, and seeking to personally know Jesus in a new way.

In case of an emergency, parents are asked to remain on campus while their children are in class. Please pick up children when class is over at 10:45 a.m.  Our volunteer teachers really appreciate your promptness so they can reconnect with their families.

Note: There are adult and youth education options available at the same time as our children's classes. Scroll up to see "Education for Adults" and "Education for Youth".

We are a people who love to grow and learn.  We've had a rich list of guest scholars and preachers including Amy Peeler from Wheaton College, Ephraim Radner from Wycliffe College, David Watson of United Theological Seminary, Garwood Anderson from Nashotah House Theological Seminary, Wes Hill from Western Theological Seminary, Don Collett from Trinity School for Ministry, and Russell Haitch from Bethany Theological Seminary. We've hosted traveling arts exhibits from Christians in the Visual Arts and we had a special viewing of the University of Dayton's copy of the St. John's Bible. We also occasionally have book groups.  Past groups have read N.T. Wright's Simply Christian, James K. A Smith's On the Road with St. Augustine: A Real World Spirituality for Restless Hearts, and Tish Harrison Warren's Liturgy of the Ordinary  Email  for more information.

During the summer, our 10am Education ministries go on break.  This is to give our teachers and other volunteers (well over 25 in total) a break and so we can focus on other areas of mission, for example, our Vacation Bible School and Youth Mission Trip.  We do, however, strive to offer different opportunities.  For example, we might have a weekday morning gathering or a Zoom Bible study.  

Summer Zoom Bible Study This summer Wayne Wolfe will be offering a Zoom bible study on the books of Jonah and Nahum. The study will be Sundays from 2pm-3pm, beginning on June 7th and running through the end of August. If you are interested please email Wayne,  , to sign up and get the Zoom link.

VBS 2026 - In June, we had a wonderful time together learning about how Jesus knows each of us, individually, and we look forward to seeing you again for next summer's theme: Crave: Stirring Up a Hunger for Jesus!  Mark your calendars: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, June 16, 17, & 18, 2027!  Check back for more details or email .
