Sunday School- on Hold
At Olivet, we believe that being inspired and challenged by God’s word is a primary spiritual practice for a living faith. During Sunday School, children engage with the week’s Bible story in meaningful ways. Our Sunday School teachers are committed to developing a long-term relationship with each child.
