Come check out our classes! Perhaps the greatest efforts being put forth to teach the gospel is being set forth in our classrooms. We are truly blessed to have such a great number of talented and dedicated teachers, some of whom have been involved in the teaching program for more than 30 years. Our eldership has seen the great importance of this work and have dedicated more time and energy to this area than just about any other. As a result, each classroom from cradle-role to the adult class has a curriculum consisting of specific areas of study which the teachers are asked to address in each of their classes. Parents can feel comfortable knowing that their children are not only being monitored by responsible adults (most of whom are parents themselves), but that their children are also receiving accurate instruction from the Word of God on every level.
