Our Sunday School Mission Statement: "Show Jesus, Love Others"
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.
