Sunday School

We believe one hour in worship a week is not enough to prepare us for an entire week of working and living in the world. Our "second hour", our Sunday School is designed to help children and adults to interact with their faith. It is a time for equipping the saints for the pressures of the world.

The Sunday School program has classes for every age, from newborn to "not-so-newborn." Sunday School classes meet on Sunday mornings between our 8:00 and 10:30 worship services (the classes start at around 9:15). Below is a list of classes, separated by age group, and what each class is currently studying. We believe that Sunday School is a great way to interact with the Bible in a small group setting. You are welcome (and frankly, encouraged) to join any class at any time--all of the classes are set up so that you won't be lost if you join in the middle of a study.

Sunday School Classes

We have classes for every age group, and this year our younger classes are going to be using curriculum that is activity-based. Each week will in many ways feel like a string of games, but the games will all be focused around a central message. The kids will still learn about the Bible and how to live to please God, but it won't feel as much like school. We hope you and your children will join us for this important time of enrichment. Below is a listing of each class, what age groups are served by that class, who the teacher is, and where the class is located. If you ever have questions about our Sunday School program, don't hesitate to talk to Rick.
