Sunday School
We believe the spiritual needs of a child can best be met through regular participation in Sunday school and worship. Bible stories, Bible verses and truths are taught to children through small group Bible-learning activities and large group Bible study. Weekly learning goals and objectives help relate the Bible to the child’s real life experiences.
