First of all, we'd like to say that it's a privilege to teach your child about God, His Word, and our identity as followers of Jesus. It is a joy to watch the children begin to grasp how amazing God is, how immense the love that Jesus has for us is, and how precious the gift of the Holy Spirit is!
In Sunday school, we like to encourage your child to grow in this area by rewarding the time he/she spends reading Bible stories and/or memorizing Bible verses. God's word is amazing and it's a primary way for all children to know God's story, His heart, and His promises. We send home a Bible verse each month for all the children to memorize. When they are able to recite it to us, we will reward them with a ticket and they will be able to pick out a prize! We will also reward them for time spent reading the Bible and/or books with stories from the Bible.
In addition to becoming familiar with the Bible, we also spend time learning how to listen to the Holy Spirit. I teach the children that when the Holy Spirit is speaking to them, it always lines up with the Bible. The Holy Spirit always builds up, cheers up, and draws them closer to God.
As the children spend time with God, through prayer, reading the Bible, and worship, we begin to see the Fruit of the Spirit grow in their hearts and in their lives. They become shining lights in this world, carrying God's love and goodness everywhere they go--spreading God's Kingdom. It's beautiful to watch and an honor to be a part of their journey.
We believe that God has brought us together as this specific church in Los Angeles, with the purpose of sharing with the world who He is and living out our lives in intimate relationship with Him. Learn More
