Sunday School Ministry

Matrons Department

Assemble the people—men, women and children—so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 31:12

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers... but to teach what is good.

Titus 2:3

From preschool learners to mature believers, Sunday school provides systematic biblical instruction every Lord's Day morning, deepening scriptural understanding and fostering discipleship across every generation.

The matrons department serves as spiritual mothers of the fellowship, offering godly counsel to younger women, orchestrating family relief, and sustaining the congregation through dedicated intercessory prayer.

Music and Choir Ministry

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God.

Psalm 84:10

Singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

The sanctuary choir leads the congregation in uplifting traditional hymns and gospel anthems, preparing humble hearts for the preaching of God's Word every week.
