Because children can grow BIG in their faith!

To encourage spiritual growth in children we offer the following:

Catechism Classes
Catechism classes teach children the core teachings of the Christian faith. Children should know what they believe and why they believe it. This class is broken into two parts of six lessons each.

• Part 1 (mid September – October)
  Covers the following topics:
  The authority of the Bible, God in three persons, the Lord Jesus Christ, the creation and fall of man, God’s great salvation, and the baptism in the Holy Spirit
• Part 2 (mid January – February) Sign Up
  Covers the following topics:
  Sanctification, the Church and its mission, divine healing, the second coming of Christ, end-time events, and living your faith

What’s In the Bible?
Biblical illiteracy is a huge problem, even in the church today. Many kids are growing up without a clear understanding of what’s in the Bible. These classes provide children a foundational knowledge of the Bible.

First Communion Class
(Five weeks prior to Easter) This is a four week class for children ages 6-8 or for those who have not yet participated in communion with their family and would like to. This class helps children understand what communion is, why we do it, and the importance of it. A First Communion Celebration will take place on Easter Sunday for those who are celebrating their first communion.

Baptism Class
Four-week class to help children understand what water baptism is, why we do it, and how it is done. Children should go to this class prior to being baptized in water.
