You are invited to grow in your faith with us.
Sunday School
Ages: Pre-K – 5th Grade
Sundays @ 9:15 am (September – May)
Gloria Dei uses a curriculum that matches up with the readings that we hear in worship on Sunday mornings. Using the Bible, art, videos, and handouts, our kids make a connection with what we hear during worship and what we learn together in Sunday School.
