Church School
Church School at Central is a safe and loving place for your children to begin their journeys in faith. Through Bible stories and lessons - combined with creative arts, crafts, drama, music, and reflection - we encourage them to discover and explore what it means to follow the lessons of God’s love and to live and serve as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our program is ecumenical, international, inclusive, and culturally diverse. We employ a multi-learning approach that not only makes Christian education engaging and fun, but also empowers children to articulate their beliefs and discoveries. Drop in any time and see for yourself!
