PreK through 6th Grades TruthSeekers Program
Our Sunday school classes for ages PreK through 5th grade, use an exciting and fun format involving many different types of hands on activities. We teach Bible events and concepts through child friendly learning, activities, including storytelling, games, arts and crafts drama, songs and prayer.
The students learn the Bible story or concept in depth as they rotate to a different workshop each week. By concentrating on one theme each month, children are able to develop a lasting memory and understanding of content with this multi-intelligences approach.
Our church is blessed to have teachers who have had many years of teaching experience, are parents of current students, and/or some are certified teachers. To provide peace of mind for the protection of our children, all teachers have passed a background check clearance.
