As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Children's Classes for all ages.
Life change is what Christian Education is all about. Sunday School provides an opportunity for salvation, for students to dig into the Word of God, learn Biblical Truths, build a relationship with Jesus Christ as they grow spiritually, and build relationships with their peers as well as other Christian adult leaders.

Classes are broken down into age-appropriate groups from nursery up to 6th grade.

Nursery class for newborns - 2 yr. olds is held in the building just north of the Sanctuary and continues through the 10:30 am Worship Service.

Classes for all other ages are located on the second floor of the Family Life Center (the building located on the back of the campus).

Catechism for Sixth-Grade Students: Begins each year in January.
Discovering My Faith is taught annually to the pre-teen Sunday School Class. This gives students a foundation of what they believe & why they believe it, with Bible verses to support their beliefs.

Contact Pastor Frankie Fugate at 480-986-1587 x 112 or pastorfrankie@evnaz.org for more information about children's classes.
