Older group meets during the school year after school on Mondays and the younger group meets during the summer for 6 week sessions. If you are interested in being a part of this group contact the office for more information.
Sunday School
But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Luke 18:16. Every Sunday we have a opportunity to share the gift of Jesus Christ with each other and the children in our lives. Our Sunday school runs from 9:15 - 10:15 for 3 year olds-12th grade. The more they know about Christ’s gift of eternal life given through his death the more likely they will remain in the faith as they are older. We start together in opening and part of classes. Each class does a bible lesson, memory work and activities that correlate with the lesson. Adult bible study is at the same time so while you are learning about Christ’s work your child will also be learning. Join us Sunday mornings for this gift of fellowship and learning.
