I teach children's church - it is very boring for my child as well. I just hit our pastor with a recommendation that age not be the only factor in determining which child attends which class - my son (starting at age 9) skips children's church and goes to "regular" church so "he can learn something" (his words). Your son is onto something - I think if a pastor really understands this, he/she would be all for helping him dig deeper into the topics, issues, and lessons.
