During the school year (September through June), St. Francis Church offers a church service and Sunday School every Sunday for children ages Pre-Kindergarden through fifth grade. The church service begins in the Chapel at 9:45 a.m., followed by Sunday School at 10 a.m. in the Education Building. The children are divided in age-appropriate classes.

St. Francis Church uses a Sunday School Program entitled, Workshop Cycles. The first cycle is called - "The Moses Chronicle". The children will learn about the life of Moses and try to memorize the Ten Commandments as they participate in story, art, kitchen and drama workshops.

The program provides for the spiritual development of children while also providing creative and exciting hands-on activities that engage them in a new level of learning and retention. It uses a rotation style model which means the children work on the same story or concept for several weeks using different learning approaches. During any particular rotation, the children may participate in Story, Kitchen, Art, Drama, Music or Movie Workshops.

The children rejoin their parents in the main church at the Peace so the entire family may celebrate Holy Communion together.

During the summer months (mid-June through August), St. Francis Church offers "Summer Sunday School" where all grade levels meet together to learn about the Bible through stories, videos and crafts. The children also enjoy playing at the playground which is always supervised by adult volunteers.
