K.I.D.Z. Street is what we used to call Sunday School, but what kid wants to go to school on Sunday, right? It is from 9:30 - 10:15 am, the same time as Bible Study for all other ages. It is specifically for ages Kindergarten through 5th grade. Nursery and Pre- School have their own design and curriculum.
- And our excellent AWANAs program meets on Wednesday evenings during the school year.
Knowing Jesus. Becoming like Him.
