Forever Friends is our self-contained Bible school class with a two-fold purpose - to teach the children about Jesus in a safe and loving environment and to allow their parents to attend worship.
In this class Bible lessons are taught through teacher directed- centers. The activities at each center vary depending on the child’s ability. The centers include, prayer, a Bible lesson, and hands-on-activities. The class time also includes some group activities, play time, and sensory activities.
