Note: Each of these books will be used daily. Their workbooks will be left at the church and sent home through the year for make up work. They will need their Bible at every single class. There is no discount offered if they have the Understanding God book or workbook prior to registration. Although the classes can be joined and attended at any point during the year, your child will be considered eligible for the annual Confirmation Ceremony if they attend the majority of the classes, can complete the class assessment and have completed their workbook.

Applying Your Faith Class (8th & 9th Grades) – Click here to sign up

In this class your child will learn how what they believe actually affects their everyday life. Applying Your Faith is a curriculum taught mainly through small group activities and lessons that are gender specific. Due to the smaller size of the groups and the integration of adult service themes and ideas, your student will get a chance to learn how to think critically about culture and its effect on biblical Christianity, how to be a part of the larger church as a whole and realize how their faith equips them to be an integral part of the church. This class will leave after praise and worship for their separate guy and girl classrooms. Click here to sign-up.

REQUIRED MATERIALS: NIV Study Bible, pen and one time fee $15.00. Books are available through Gabriel Carnell. A check can be mailed to Mt Zion Church, or payment can be given directly to Gabriel Carnell.

CLASS MATERIALS

If any books or materials are needed for this class/group, your group facilitator or class instructor will communicate to you how you can get the needed materials.

GENERAL INFO

We are very excited to offer all of our Understanding God Program classes this fall. On Sunday mornings kids from 6th -9th grade for this school year can be a part of class during the 10:30am service. These classes are unique and influential for a variety of reasons. The kids that your child will spend their time with in these classes can become the group they will grow up with. Not only that but the opportunity to learn, think and experience God’s goodness in these classes where dialogue is a staple and questions are encouraged, make them really exceptional. We have a committed team of young adults and volunteers who have spent their youth growing up in the church. They have a great deal to offer your family as you work to instill and foster faith in your kids. These classes can be joined at any time. If you have questions or want more information, fill out our contact form.
