REGULAR SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHEDULE
OUR CURRICULUM...is an interactive, multi-age, multi-sensory Sunday School learning experience. In a rotational setting, the same Bible theme is taught over several weeks. Each week, the students rotate to different learning stations, such as art, science, storytelling, video, cooking, games and music. This enables our kids to experience the Bible through different modes of learning.
