Sunday School Rejoice! Mission Statement: "Changing
Lives ... Reflecting Christ"
In
Sunday School, we strive toward this mission statement
through the following values:
-
Fun: Kids at Rejoice! Sunday Church School
laugh, smile, play, think, challenge, sing, and want
to invite their friends.
-
Safety: Kids at R! SCS feel welcome and
physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe.
They can trust and freely love their fellow students
and adult friends.
-
Child-Targeted Lessons: Kids of every age
at R! SCS are engaged and believe each lesson was
made just for them.
-
Creative and Interactive Bible Teaching:
Kids experience, rather than just hear about,
the Bible, our holy Scripture.
-
Discipleship: Kids learn from, appreciate,
and look up to the adults and older kids they meet
at R! SCS.
Sunday
School is offered at the following times:
-
8:00 am: 3 years old to 5th grade; Middle School and Senior
High
-
9:30 am: 3 years old to 5th grade; Middle School and Senior

Classes begin in September on the Sunday after Labor
Day, and end in May on the Sunday after Mother's Day. No
classes are held on Christmas, New Year's or Easter.

Church School registration form prior to or upon your
first visit to Sunday School.
All children are welcome;
if you are new to Rejoice!, just ask someone at the Welcome Center and they will assist you in finding
the right Sunday School classroom.
