Life Changing Fellowship (formerly Sunday School)

The goal of Life Changing Fellowship is to provide Christian Education, training and development for each sector of the church and community population collectively as well as individually in a fun and relaxed environment. Classes begin at 9:00am weekly for children and adult. Additionally, throughout the year, the events relative to the different holidays are given.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)

Vacation Bible School is held annually for two weeks during the month of July. VBS's goal is to make a God a reality and to give individuals a sense of relationship with Him.
