Sunday School

"Let the little Children come unto me", Mark 10:14 NIV

Mission Statement

The purpose of Mount Calvary's Sunday School is to help your child come to experience, love & follow Jesus.

Experience: In each Sunday school class, your child will learn age appropriate Bible stories, discovering the God’s plan of love for all people.  He/she will meet Jesus Christ and encounter His love which is the central theme throughout the Bible. Your child will also grow in Bible study, prayer and worship.

Love: Each class encourages your child to apply Bible learning to his life. The goal of Bible teaching is to help God's children understand the world through their Father's perspective and live the joyful life God intended by adopting His values of love and care for others.

Follow: Your child will also grow in his understanding about what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Using the gifts He has given, your child will learn that faith is an active, every day part of life; that loving God and loving your neighbor is not just reserved for Sunday, but is a way of life.

Curriculum

PreKindergarten - Grade 6

Sunday School materials are: 

  • Christ Centered - Every lesson shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ as our promise of salvation and the power of living.
  • Bible Based - Over the course of three years, students learn the best loved Bible stories for a firm faith foundation.
  • Life Directed - Hands on lessons and activities prepare students for the time they spend outside of Sunday School, helping them put their faith into practice in all situations.
  • Family Connected - Consistent Bible lessons for all levels along with take home materials encourage faith-building that involves the whole family.

Junior High and Senior High Bible study curriculum maintain the same goals, yet are adapted for teen issues. For more information, see Mt. Calvary's Youth Ministry.
