CHILDREN’S SUNDAY SCHOOL
“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power and the wonders he has done.”
Psalm 78:4b
Sunday School classes are offered for children age 2 through 5th grade in our state-of-the-art Christian Life Center. We utilize age-specific, Bible-based curriculum in each of the classes and our teachers all share a love for the Lord and a desire to share that love with children. Each week, during the Gathering at 9:30 a.m., the children meet at “KidZone,” a reserved area in our Fellowship Hall for refreshments and fellowship time. At 9:45 a.m., the children welcome visitors, recognize birthdays and sing praise songs. Their teachers then escort them to their class and parents pick-up children at their classroom at 10:45 a.m.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Adult Sunday school program has long been an integral part of the life and ministry of FUMC. We believe that the Christian Faith is a lifelong pilgrimage of faith in which we strive to grow in Christ likeness. Because of this, the fellowship of the church, the study of God’s word, the importance of prayer and service, are all integral parts of the Adult Sunday school program. And, in turn, the Sunday school program is an essential element of Christian Discipleship, to which we have all been called. Adult Sunday school is held from 9:45-10:45 AM on Sunday morning, meets year round and has a place for everyone.
