Children
Early childhood and primary years are the times of greatest influence in a child's life... Our programs support parents and provide the very best activities for your family.
Sabbath School for Children
Children interested in Bible stories and making Christian friends are cared for each week in Sabbath School classes for several age groups:
Teens (ages 10-15)
Primary (ages 6-9)
Kindergarten (ages 3-5)
Beginners (infants 0-2 yrs)
The weekly children Sabbath school (Bible study) classes each week contain songs, crafts, quizzes, games and Bible stories. Afterwards children can join their parents during the church service where they always enjoy the singing and the children's story.
