Welcome to Sunday School at Uptown Christ Covenant Church. Sunday School is a weekly opportunity to study the Bible, be trained in the Christian worldview, and to enjoy fellowship with other members of the body of Christ. We are convinced that spiritual transformation begins with training from God's word: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good pleasing and perfect will” (Romans12:2).

Why Attend Sunday School?

Since the focus of Sundays tends to be on the main worship service, one might wonder whether Sunday School is a bit superfluous. After all, isn't the main service enough? Although this is a good question to ask, it unfortunately approaches Sunday from the wrong perspective. It begins the discussion by first asking about the minimum requirements that we are obligated to fulfill on Sunday, instead of what opportunities there are to be greatly blessed and encouraged by. Rather than asking, What must I do on Sunday to fulfill my obligations?, perhaps we should be asking, What can I do to encourage my walk with Christ? When we ask this question, I think we will find good reasons to attend Sunday School. Consider the following:

Solid “Seminary-Level” Teaching . We are blessed to have a number of gifted teachers, pastors, and elders in our congregation that are able to offer high quality teaching from God's word. So, Sunday School is a rare opportunity to build a deeper understanding of the Christian worldview. For more, see our core courses or our current Sunday School classes .
Need for Ongoing Discipleship . We all have a need in our life to continue to be trained, encouraged, sharpened, and challenged in our walks with God. The main Worship Service is a crucial part of this process but is not able to fill every need. Sunday School is a chance to be trained and taught on a more personal and interactive level. For more learning opportunities see our Discipleship Training Homepage .
Convenient and God-Ordained Time . We all live such busy lives that it is hard to find the time to learn more about the God we serve. However, God in his infinite wisdom has set aside one day of the week for that very purpose (Ex 20:8-11). Sunday mornings rarely contain scheduling conflicts or other obligations that can keep us from coming to Sunday School. Moreover, nursery is provided so that parents can focus upon the class without distraction.
Relationships and Fellowship. Sunday School is also an opportunity to deepen our relationships with fellow believers in the church. Rather than learning in isolation, Sunday School provides an opportunity to learn within the context of a loving community where we can sharpen and encourage one another.

Structure of Sunday School

Each Sunday morning we begin at 9:00AM with a time of food and fellowship as we provide coffee, orange juice, and bagels. Sunday School begins at 9:15 and runs until 10:15AM . During each class we have solid biblical teaching as well as opportunities to get to know other believers better.

Sunday School courses are offered in two-month blocks. During each block we will offer three courses. There will be two core courses which will be topical in nature and also a Bible course which directly studies a book from the Old or New Testament. This pattern allows members to choose the course that best suits their needs, while maintaining a balance between topical courses and direct study of the Bible.
