Children are a part of each of our lives. They may be our own, they may belong to another member of our family, or they may live next door or across the street. But who can resist a smile with a tooth missing, a fresh, childlike point of view, the excitement of new discoveries, or the hope of a better future?

Hope's Elementary Children's Church teachers are excited and enthusiastic about helping children learn Bible truths. Why? First, the Bible message is crucial to the life of each child. Second, students are at the most reachable and teachable stage of their lives.

Junior Department teachers Richard Main and Sue Cornell understand that their third, fourth and fifth graders like to discover Bible truths for themselves, being guided by their teacher. Curriculum materials aid in making that Bible truth practical for their everyday life. Prayer time and class projects round out the Sunday morning hour.

One of life's most fulfilling experiences is seeing children learn to love God and grow as His children. Hope's elementary division teachers are committed to this. Their study, prayer, determination and experience are paying rich dividends in changed lives.
