Children's Division

Director: Stephen Troell

Our children’s Sunday school provides an atmosphere in which every child feels loved and valued. With our teachings geared toward the child’s age and comprehension level, we lay the foundation for having a relationship with Christ. Caring teachers help the child grow in knowledge and understanding of that relationship through Bible training and simple practice of Christian principles. Our children’s ministry serves parents and their boys and girls in grades one through six.

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.
