Deuteronomy 6:6-9 states, “And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

The Mission of the Sunday School Ministry is to provide Christian, Bible-based teachings and the principles that nurture Spiritual, as well as ethical and moral development. Its primary goals are: evangelizing, edifying and equipping our members with the word of God, thus increasing individual and family participation in Sunday School.

The Sunday School Ministry presents various Programs throughout the year, namely: Easter, Promotion Day, and Christmas Programs. Continued Training for the Staff and Teachers through Workshops and Congresses of Christian Education.

We are a community of dedicated teachers and staff who are committed to the instruction and training of children and adults in the word of God. We are given a mandate and challenge as believers in Christ to faithfully and diligently instruct our children who have been entrusted to us in the truth of the word of God. If you have the gift of teaching and the love for God’s word and for God’s children please come join our Sunday School Ministry.

Each child should come to Children’s Church prepared with their Bibles and eager to learn.  Any child who does not have a Bible will be given one to help them connect with our Lord.
