Sunday Small Groups (Sunday School)

We offer special programs for people of all ages, with small groups that provide a curriculum engaging the Bible in fun and enlightening ways while focusing on building relationships with each other and with God. Our hope is for all God's children to own their faith and value in being a part of a faith community. Summer small groups vary by year, always taking a break to allow families time to worship together and to work with vacation schedules of many of our families and volunteers.
