Children's Sunday School
Grades: Preschool - 5th Grade
Children's Sunday School Classes meet during the school year (Sept. - May) and are available for all school-aged children (Preschool - 5th Grade). Our curriculum, "The Gospel Project", takes kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture. Kids will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. When kids truly experience the gospel, their hearts are transformed. It is the gospel, not good behavior, that changes everything.
