Why Sunday School . . .child.gif (6194 bytes)
  1. Because God's Word is taught more extensively and consistently than anywhere else except Bible school . . . and it is applied more personally to each student.
  2. Because it is easier in smaller groups for teachers to build one-on-one relationships with kids - and research has shown that "the greater the relationship between teacher and learner, the greater the degree of influence over the child."
  3. Because children need a place to "belong." Here they know someone will always "be there" for then to "listen with their face" every week.
  4. Because here they build friendships with kids and adults that help knit them into the body of Christ and help to hold them steady through the years of shaking.
Sunday School Starts each and every Sunday at 9:45AM
