The purpose of Sunday school is to offer students of all ages various Bible classes. Our Beginner Believers class is designed to give a foundational overview of essential Biblical doctrines. In the adult class, current issues are tackled from a Biblical perspective as well as surveys on various books of the Bible. All classes start before the morning service at 9:45 AM.
- Adult Classes

- Book Study Class
Teacher: Don Felts
The purpose of this class is to study books of the Bible, verse by verse, in small discussion group format.
- Bible Doctrines
Teacher: John Reilly
The Bible is the Word of God. The original writings in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, are inspired or God breathed. All parts of the Bible are equally inspired. Therefore, the Bible , even in the reliable translations we have in English today, is inerrant, infallible, and authoritative on everything about which it speaks. Therefore, it is essential to every believer to know much of God's Word if we are to obey it and to fulfill God's will for us to grow to be more and more like Christ Jesus.
The Basic Bible Doctrine class examines what the Bible says about a number of fundamental Bible teachings, in order to provide a very firm foundation for believers in their Christian growth and walk. Although inductive Bible study is preferable (letting the Bible speak for itself), new believers can greatly benefit from this deductive study, which collates much of what great Bible scholars have agreed are the fundamentals of the Bible. Each topic is presented simply, but with a good deal of supporting Bible verses. Class members receive a copy of the basic notes for themselves for personal study and reference.
The program of instruction runs in a cycle of about 18 months. New believers, and mature believers seeking refreshment in various topics, can enter the course at any point, and return to their regular Sunday school class upon completion of the selected topic or the entire program.
The major doctrines addressed in the class are as follows:
- The Doctrine of the Bible
- The Doctrine of God
- The Doctrine of Christ
- The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
- The Doctrine of Angels
- The Doctrine of Satan
- The Doctrine of Man
- The Doctrine of Sin
- The Doctrine of Salvation
- The Doctrine of the Church
- The Doctrine of the Covenants
- The Doctrine of Dispensations
- The Doctrine of Last Times
- Young Peoples' Classes
- 2's and 3's (years old)
Teacher: Ceil Crim
For those children who are ages 2 and 3, we provide a Sunday School class which teaches simple Biblical principles in an easy to learn and remember fashion. We sing children's Bible songs, memorize verses, listen to the weekly Bible lesson, and then complete an activity page that relates to that week's Bible lesson.
- 4's and 5's (years old)
Teacher: Diana Van Riper
Similar to the 2's and 3's class, children who are ages 4 and 5 have a class all their own. The work on the "craft of the week", learn children's Bible songs and hear the Bible story which teaches a lesson.
- Primary (1st - 3rd grade)
Teacher: Dave and Becky Young
The Primary Sunday School class is for elementary students in the first, second and third grades. We learn about God from the Bible through songs, lessons, and crafts. This year we are learning about how God cares for us and helps us; about the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior; and about how we can please God. We meet in Room 5 from 9:45 to 10:45 each Sunday morning with Mr. and Mrs. Young.
- 4th - 6th Graders
Teacher: Jonathan Walters
Our class studies how the Lord created our universe and worked in the lives of men to accomplish his will. Using the book of Genesis, we study Adam and his descendants through Abraham and then follow Abraham's descendants, from Isaac to our Lord Jesus Christ. Afterwards, we study the lives of the apostles and how the gospel was spread in early days of the church.
We spend about 3 years completing our curriculum. That means that a student that begins this class as a 4th grader will complete the curriculum by the time he has finished 6th grade!
- Junior High (7th - 8th grade)
Teacher: Randall Gottschall
- Senior High (9th - 12th grade)
Teacher: David Detwiler
