Mission Statement
|
| The mission of our Sunday School program is based on an approach which prepares the students with the principles of the Orthodox Faith, encouraging them to grow in God’s service. Our program builds a solid foundation for the children of our community through exemplary lessons in the teaching and the Worship Practices of the Greek Orthodox Christian Faith, using the fundamental tools of: |
| Worship |
participating in community worship and private prayer |
| Community |
sharing in the total life of the church |
| Discipleship |
learning how to follow Jesus Christ and His Gospel Message |
| Service |
serving the needs of others in and around the community |
| Witness |
fulfilling Christ’s mission in the world |
| Through these intertwined tools we hope each child has received not only the communication of Christian truth called Orthodoxia, but also a formation of Christian Character by living a lifestyle representative of our Christian Faith called Orthopraxia. |

Important Information
- All Classes begin at 9:45 a.m. in the Υouth Center/School building.
- Each class will be assigned a prayer which they will practice. It is our goal that the students learn this prayer (older classes may be assigned more than one) by heart. One day a week is not enough time to cultivate a child’s prayer life. We ask that you pray with your child each morning and evening and incorporate their class prayer into your prayer rule.
- Following class time, students will partake in the Divine Liturgy. Students are asked to sit as a class with their Sunday School Teachers.
- Please instruct your child PRIOR to dropping them off to Sunday School as to whether or not they should receive Holy Communion.
- Parents are requested to pick up their child at the completion of the Divine Liturgy.
