With a teacher and an assistant for the class, the children are well supervised, and proper attention is given to each child.

When space is provided in the future the children will be age group and graded to allows the young people to be around children their own age.

Our trained workers make sure that the nursery is a safe and secure environment.

It is our prayers to provide a standard nursery facility in the future with the availability of funds to pay for a larger space for our church

Learning biblical truths and applying them at any age is a important step toward handling life successfully. Nearly 50 of those coming to our church are involved in a Sunday school class and Friday evening Bible study classes. Our teaching and learning experience is practical, helpful, enjoyable, and challenging to worshipers. This nurturing in the Word of God is helpful for spiritual growth and maturity.

Life in Christ and the church is very important. In the ministry we bring completeness and meaning to life. It is desire that members of our church and those who come to fellowship will find peace and happiness in Jesus Christ. Our single ministry is directed to those who have never been married to those who are single parents, each person works hard to apply biblical principles to the unique problems of life faced by single people. Usually, people start attending the class during their mid-thirties. A variety of activities is planned, and most activities include the children of class members.
