Sunday School

Where there is a Sunday School experience for everyone

Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs."

--Jesus--Matthew 19:14

 All Classes meet on Sundays from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM 

The Sunday School Program at Bethlehem Church is made possible only because of the large number of talented and committed volunteers who share in the responsibility of nurturing the faith growth of our children.

YAK:  When this group was first formed, most of the members were in their twenties and the name Young Adult Class was chosen as representative. The class continues some twenty years later to explore current events in light of their Christian Faith. No matter what your age, the YAK would be glad to have you join them in their lively discussions.
