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.

Little Lambs Division

Directors: Mark Carr, Jodi Busby & Kayla Howell

Our preschool Sunday school classes strive to establish a loving foundation for newborns through kindergarteners to begin learning about our Lord Jesus Christ. Loving, dedicated, and trained nursery workers and Sunday School teachers are eager to nurture and instruct your precious little ones in a beautiful facility. A pager system provides parents with peace of mind, knowing they will be alerted if their child needs attention. Nursery care is provided for all children from birth through age four for all church services.

Brave Boys & Girls Division

Director: Dave & Gayle Washington

Our children’s Sunday school provides an atmosphere in which every child feels loved and valued. With our teachings geared toward the child’s age and comprehension level, we lay the foundation for having a relationship with Christ. Caring teachers help the child grow in knowledge and understanding of that relationship through Bible training and simple practice of Christian principles. Our children’s ministry serves parents and their boys and girls in grades one through six.

International Ministry

Director: Richard Jacob

The greater Knoxville area, including the surrounding counties, is the temporary home of thousands of students, professionals, and workers. God has literally brought the world to our doorstep. The International Class reaches these visitors with the message of the gospel and a compassionate welcome. Those attending our international Sunday School will find a group of friends with similar interests and a common desire to walk with Christ. Many former international students have now returned to their home country, carrying the message of the gospel to family and friends.
