Sunday School
On Sunday mornings, our Preteen Ministry uses 252 Preteen, a faith-based curriculum from Orange, blending Methodist theology with age-appropriate activities. Our goal is to inspire discovery, helping children love life as they grow in faith. As they transition into Student Ministries, we encourage them to seek God’s love through community, Jesus’ teachings, and the church.
