children's sunday school

Sundays following Worship Service at 10:40 a.m.

Faith experienced at an early age is the foundation for all growth. The Good News we share with our children has the power to transform lives and revitalize communities. So, let's prepare the ground for a new tomorrow and send down roots anchored in love. Let's sow in them seeds of mercy and plant them by the river of life. Let's teach our kids to RISE UP IN FAITH in this world.

Jesus modeled and taught shalom, often by telling stories.  Stories still speak, teach, and nurture.  Reading books that show characters choosing creative and peaceful solutions can help your children choose Jesus' Way of Peace in their own lives here and now.
