FaithWeaver Sunday School has one goal: to weave faith in Jesus Christ into all areas of learners' lives! We don't just "teach about the Bible" we focus on growing relationship with Jesus. Preschool and Elementary aged kids all study the same Bible passage each week, so siblings and friends leave church with a common point of reference that will spark discussion and application at home. FamilyConnect weekly pages also help families integrate what they learned into daily life. Please click here for our current lesson.
