We have a Bible-teaching Sunday School class for every member of your family. The purpose of the Sunday School is not to merely teach the Bible lesson. It is to teach, train, and equip so that we might, in turn, teach others the eternal truths we have been taught.

Knoxville Children’s Classes
Director: Roger Hilliard
The purpose of the Knoxville Children’s Sunday School is to bring children who ride our buses and vans to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus, to build them up in Biblical truth, and equip them to follow and serve Christ all the days of their lives. Every Saturday an army of dedicated workers visit in the homes of more than 2,000 area families, presenting the gospel, praying with them for their needs, and encouraging parents and children alike.
Sunday is always an exciting day as those same workers travel throughout our metropolitan area, bringing children to Sunday school. As they arrive, they are greeted by devoted workers who teach them the Word of God. Children receive Christian training in a loving and structured setting and are delivered safely home to their parents in the afternoon. Literally thousands of children and adults have come to know Christ as their personal Saviour through this evangelistic ministry.
