Church has Sunday School classes most every Sunday morning starting
at 11:00 a.m. Content Goal: to provide all members with a comprehensive knowledge of the biblical material of the Old Testament and the New Testament, and a solid base of knowledge of biblical doctrine through instruction in historic Reformed Catechisms. Faith Goal: to challenge each student, both child and adult, to believe with all their heart in the God revealed in the Bible, and to instruct them in ways that their faith may be given concrete shape in their lives.
Functional Goal: to develop in each student the ability to work with
the Word in their own lives, thus enabling the development of personal faith
and life growth, and the public articulation and confession of the Reformed
faith. There are classes for children as young as 2 years old through adult classes. Children ages 2 through sixth grade begin the Sunday school session together in the Sanctuary for a time of singing and announcements. The 2 and 3 year old class has a time for a Bible story, a lesson, and a time for crafts and games. The 4 year old through sixth grade classes use Great Commission materials and meet in the following classes: 4 year old through Kindergarten class The seventh and eighth grade classes study God's Word through a Bible overview class. The ninth and tenth grade classes study the catechism. The eleventh and twelfth grade classes focus on Christian ethics in order to prepare for adult life.
