Education
Sunday School for children is available during both worship services, following the Children's Moment. During the 8:45 a.m. worship service we offer Sunday School for younger children (4-years-old through 2nd grade). During the 11 a.m. service we offer a full range of Sunday School classes, for children 4-years-old through 6th grade, downstairs in the Sunday School wing. During the summer both services offer one-room Sunday School for younger children in the room adjoining the nursery.
