Kindergarten through 5th grade classes "rotate" through varying activities coordinated through themes.   Each Sunday, we help children explore stories in the Bible through music, drama, science, cooking, computers, games and more.  Not only do they learn Bible truths, but they also have FUN at the same time!  In addition to growing in their faith, children also learn how to be of service to others.

Affirmation of Baptism/Confirmation (Grade 8): 
Room 236

The current schedule for the next Affirmation of Faith classes is:
