Christian Education

Education Hour

Christian Education Hour is held at 10:15 a.m. each Sunday. Teachers, assistants, and students of all ages help to make the Christian Education Hour a success. Hearing about God and God’s love through stories, songs, and craft projects is the main goal. As we teach children about Jesus, we try to help them build relationships in our church family, the community, and the world.

For children of all ages, beginning at age 3, and adults.

For Adults

Adult Education Hour is also at 10:15 a.m. each Sunday. Bible studies as
well as discussions on other church and social related issues are held.
