Sunday School

While youth are welcome in the Sanctuary during worship, most of our youth take part in our amazing Sunday School program located in Seagull Cottage. Age-appropriate lesson plans are developed for each class to maximize their growth and faith in Christ.

The children & youth are currently using the Buzz (Group Publishing) curriculum. According to our different classes, the children & youth will be diving into topics such as God’s wonderful creation, Moses and the Israelites, blinded Samson, and so many other exciting Bible stories!

Ministry and Outreach

Throughout the year, church youth are encouraged to be involved with Ministry work. During the Christmas season, youth are invited to participate in Operation Christmas Child by filling shoe boxes for underprivileged children.

This past year, our children and youth worked with a local homeless facility, Program Reach. They raised funds and sponsored a family night, providing a PDQ dinner, crafts, face paining, balloon creations, and more. Another family night is planned for the fall of 2019.

This fall, Chapel youth have been collecting and packaging hygiene items for Bahamian families effected by hurricane Dorian.
