Beliefs Matter

Their notions about the nature of God, the Bible, and the church are moving beyond the simpler concepts of childhood. Youth Sunday school is an important time for maturing these beliefs.

Teachers Matter

Teaching youth is both rewarding and challenging. Some youth materials are so dry that it is difficult to build interest in a session. Others are so packed with activity that the learning is shallow.
