    Though this page focuses on the children's Sunday School curriculum, Sunday School is available for all ages, babies through adult. 

    Sunday School starts at 9:30 am each Sunday morning.

    The lesson materials that we will be using are structured so that each year's courses will build on or add to the previous year.  This page is a list of the courses for each age group.

    If you have any questions about our Sunday School, we would be happy to answer them.  We hope to see you Sunday morning!



    God has testified of His glorious deeds and His mighty power.  The Bible is full of stories that point to His greatness and worth.  This curriculum explores God's greatness by noting key themes found chronologically throughout the Old Testament.  Bible stories are not written out.  Instead, the teachers are encouraged to study the scripture itself, and then utilize the key themes to acquaint children with a great God whose character never changes.

    The New Testament beautifully unfolds the wonder and power of Jesus Christ.  This curriculum explores the greatness of God by noting key themes found chronologically throughout the New Testament.  Bible stories are not written out.  Instead, the teachers are encouraged to study the scripture itself, and then utilize the key themes to acquaint children with a great God who has spoken by His Son.


    We were created to enjoy the glory of God, but as sinners we fail to treasure Him as we should.  We are horribly sick in heart and stand in need of a Savior.  This chronological study on redemption explores:

• the incomparable greatness and worth of God
• the desparate condition of helpless sinners
• the all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ to redeem sinful people

    Right thinking about God is essential for the life of faith.  using the alphabet as a framework for teaching the attributes of God, this study explores the delight that God has in Himself as the source, means, and purpose of all things.  Each lesson asks and answers three key questions as it presents a theology of God for children:

• Who is God?
• What is He like?
• How should I act toward Him?

    God's promises are gifts to the believer.  The challenge of the Christian life is not to simply know the promises of God, but to place unshakable confidence in them.  This study teaches children that God's character is trustworthy.  Therefore, His promises are true and reliable.

    What is salvation?  How does someone become a Christian?  What does it really mean to become like Jesus?  This curriculum helps answer these important questions by carefully explaining the purpose and promises of the Gospel message.  A major portion of this study focuses on the doctrine of sanctification.  Sanctification is the process by which a Christian becomes more and more conformed to the likeness of Jesus.  By carefully studying some of the commands of Jesus, this curriculum leads the students to a clear understanding of what it means to respond to God in faith and obedience.


    The names of God are wonderful revelations of His majestic character.  This study presents the Hebrew names of God in the Old Testament.  Also the names of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the New Testament.  Each lesson encourages children to see and rejoice in the goodness and greatness of God as they explore the meaning of His glorious names.

    God is not an idle God.  He is continually involved with all created things, directing them to accomplish His eternal purposes.  This study teaches children to recognize God's providence in their lives and to joyfully trust His good purposes for them.  Each lesson reveals that God is the sovereign ruler of the universe whose eye is watching over all things and whose hand is working in all things.




    Realizing the immeasurable importance of having a God-centered life, Pleasant Heights has adopted Sunday School curriculum for our children that strongly focuses on obtaining this goal. We are very pleased to be able to use the Children Desiring God materials from Desiring God ministries.
