The Bible-Teaching Sunday Schools
There is a class for every member of your family. The purpose of the Sunday School is not to merely teach a Bible lesson. It is to teach, train, and equip so that we might, in turn, teach others the eternal truths we have been taught.
For more information about the Sunday School, please contact Lisa Snow in the Sunday School office at 865.938.8182.
