What About Children?
Your children are encouraged to join you for worship during the 9:30 AM Worship. If they would rather go to Sunday School during our Worship at 9:30 AM, there are hearing Sunday School classes for children of all ages. If your child would like an interpreter during Sunday School, one will be provided.
At 11:00 AM, Deaf children and the CODAs (Children of Deaf Adults) are encouraged to join with the adult Deaf Sunday School class.
