Sunday School
There is a place for everyone in our 9:15 – 10:15 AM weekly Sunday Morning Bible Study hour. The primary purposes of this ongoing organization are Bible study, outreach, fellowship, and mutual support. Although the Bible is the textbook for our Sunday Morning Bible Study hour, supplementary curriculum materials, activities, and technological tools are used at all age levels to provide guides for study and to serve as effective resources for helping in the application of the teachings of the scriptures to real life.

The Divisions of our Sunday Morning Bible Study hour are Preschoolers (Birth to 5), Children (Grades 1-4), Preteens (Grades 5-6), Youth (Grades 7-12), and Adults (Young, Middle, and Older). Adults may choose men’s, women’s, or coed classes.

In order to assist each guest in finding the appropriate class, a Welcome Center is located on the first floor at the entrance to the educational building.
