Children's Sunday School and Church

Mural in children's room painted by Terry Tengler Our age-appropriate curriculum supports and encourages spiritual development through teaching God's Word, with Christian life application as our main focus.

It is based on a year-long outline developed by the Children's Ministires Directors and approved by the Elder Board and Pastor. The lessons are on subjects such as Creation; Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection; Old Testament stories; and New Testament teachings.

Sunday School is at 9:30, and Children's Church is at 10:45 during the Sunday Service.
