Sunday
School: There are classes for all ages from infants through adults.
The Children’s
area has an emphasis upon providing an atmosphere where love
and support are present, so the children not only learn about The Bible
and God’s love but also experience it.
The Youth
area has a focus upon helping them understand their growth
changes, how God is part of their lives and activities in a busy and
confusing world.
The Adult
area has a focus upon helping each person encounter his or her
faith. The teaching methods used work to encourage growth, openness and
support as we are challenged to look at issues and topics. We
understand that we are all on the journey of faith together.
