The pre-school and elementary classes use a Biblically-based curriculum which introduces even our youngest children to our friend, Jesus. They learn, at a very early age, the most basic of Christ's teachings through stories, crafts and interaction with their classmates. The lessons grow as the children grow, keeping them interested and challenged throughout their elementary years.

The Middle School & High School Youth classes explore important social, emotional, and spiritual issues to help them develop a faithful response in their Christian walk. The curriculum includes United Methodist and non-United Methodist resources and Biblical materials.

(Disciple I is a prerequisite for taking higher numbered Disciple classes.)

Special purpose classes are offered at various times during the year. One example is the weekly evening studies held during Lent.
