Creative and relevant Christian education is a high priority for us at St. Aidan's!

Sunday School During the School Year

During the school year, we offer Sunday morning classes for all ages between our two morning worship services, beginning at 9:30 a.m. 

     Elementary-age Kids

     We have two separate groups for younger kids: (1) Pre-K through Second Grade and (2) Third Grade through Fifth Grade.  Both groups build community and grow in faith as they pray, sing, digest Bible stories, work creatively, and think more about the Church and the Christian life.  All this takes place in a wonderful, family atmosphere led by loving and dedicated teachers. Pre-K through Second Graders meet downstairs in the Day School with Nancy Boling, Dawn Nelson, and Christina Mazzanti.  Third through Fifth Graders meet upstairs in the Day School with Karen Offringa, Ted Boling and Kathy Seikel.

     6th through 8th Grade

     Rite 13, a Sunday School class for sixth through eighth graders, meets in the Youth Room for snacks, interesting discussions, religious instruction and fun under the enthusiastic leadership of Tobin Bergin-Hill, Matt Irwin and Mario Costantino.  About once a month, this group also meets in the afternoon for fellowship and fun, whether to see a movie or visit a waterpark, or to cook a meal for a family in need.

     Adults

    Each week, adults meet in White Hall and enjoy Sunday morning forums which relate our Christian faith and history to our lives.  Join us for lively discussions, informative and interesting subject matter, and a chance to make new friends.

Nursery

A nursery is available from 9:30 a.m. until noon for children too young to attend Sunday School.  Our nursery caregivers are Sandra Cruz, who works as an assistant in the Fairfax County Public School System, and Morgan Carter, a responsible high schooler and frequent babysitter.  The nursery is located in the "Muscle Room" in White Hall.

Wednesday Evening Short Courses for Adults
During the year, we have a series of three-week courses that include a presentation and discussion. They are designed to give an overview of life in the Church as well as insights into how the Church continues to speak in each new age. They deal with scripture, worship, questions and faith. The courses are kept short so you can choose to participate for a few weeks or a few months. Each class will provide a chance not only to get to know your church better, but also to get to know some of those who share the journey of faith at St. Aidan’s. Classes will generally run from 7:30 to 9:00 P.M.

High School Youth Group

Approximately twice a month (generally the first and third Sundays of the month), the St. Aidan's high school youth group will meet for fun activities and various outreach projects.  Just recently, this group formed the core of St. Aidan's summer mission trip to New York City. 

This year, our high school youth group is joining forces with the high school youth group from Nativity Lutheran Church, just down the street.  We meet some weeks at St. Aidan's and some weeks at Nativity and some weeks out and about.  Join us whenever you can!
