In the current world, the young children and youth are facing unique challenges than ever before. Since many of the parents were brought up in different atmosphere and in a different time, it puts the parents in a difficult spot to grasp the fundamental factors that their kids are struggling with. Even if they try to understand and admonish their children, in many circumstances the children have been pushed into situations where they have to make their own decisions, and at times it has to be spontaneous. Decisions made haphazardly or life lived in trial and error basis will have ramifications and at its worst, it had cost lives too. So it is inevitable that children need God’s guidance to succeed in their lives.

To know God and to understand His ways, the children need to be coached, mentored, guided, admonished and trained in God’s ways. This journey starts at home and first and foremost led by an exemplary life style of their parents. In addition, children need structured Christ centered education from early years and they need to know and understand the importance of the guidance of Holy Spirit. To face and succeed the challenges in their respective ages, they need to be educated and equipped to make the right choices at the right time. In every situation, for the children to distinguish the ways of this world from the ways of God, they need to understand the word of God.

Based on these circumstances, we have structured the Sunday school classes starting from the age four (4) to the age eighteen (18). The church invests a significant portion of its resources to obtain necessary Bible related materials, Christian resources, and teachers (volunteers) who can diligently educate and admonish the children.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
