Christian Formation (Sunday School)
 St. Dunstan’s thrives when we learn and grow through God’s word. Our church offers Christian education at 10:30 am each Sunday for ages two through adult. In addition, our new Catechesis of the Good Shepherd curriculum is a dynamic and innovative approach to a child’s Christian education.
All youth Sunday school teachers must have had background checks and must take Safeguarding God's Children, a required course through our church's diocese.

 Preschool (Toddler - Pre-K 5) Classes

Toddlers to Two’s (Nursery)
For our youngest ones, we use Group Publishing’s Hands On Bible Curriculum to teach the basic Bible stories that ground all of God’s children in Scripture. Our toddlers learn with the faith that only young children have, how God loves His people and takes care of them. In presenting active learning that encourages the use of all five senses, our teachers establish appropriate and loving relationships that reflect the love and care of Jesus for these precious ones.
Preschool - Ages 3 to 5 (Room 316)
Our preschool-aged children learn in the Atrium of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, which is a Montessori method of religious formation of the child. The preschoolers learn from Level Pre-K/I of the Catechesis program.
