Children’s Church
My name is Sarah Beth Brewer. I am the youth director here at First Christian Church of Dawson Springs and I would personally like to thank you for allowing your child to be a part of this mission. I am a Dawson Springs native and have been a member of FCCDS since I was a child. I am excited to be here and involved in the church in this setting. I currently reside in Hanson, Kentucky with my Husband, Travis and our kiddos, Isaiah, Isaac, and Bella. My background is Montessori based, pre-school aged classroom setting. I have been inside the classroom as a lead teacher, as well as a music teacher, and also a supervisor. Feel free to email me at anytime with questions or concerns. My office hours are 9:30AM – 12:30 each Thursday of the week and 10AM – 12 on Sundays. If you need to chat or meet outside of this window, you are always welcome to reach out.
About us:
Firstly, our classroom is based on Christ-like love. We strive to give your child the tools they will use for a lifetime and help to foster their own relationship with Christ.
We currently offer classes for 3 year olds, or those who are potty trained and older. It is our hope as this program grows, we will have more individual age groups with more specific lessons for said groups. However, we currently operate on a "one room classroom model" and it has been very beneficial for everyone thus far. This allows for lessons to be adapted and integrated based on the needs of multiple age levels as well as allows older students to model and offer support to younger students.
We look forward to having your child in class with us!
