Creating disciples through teaching and demonstrating the love of Jesus

Opportunities to Get Involved

Sunday School

Each Sunday before our worship service, our students gather to study the Word of God. Groups are divided into middle school (6th-8th grade) and high school (9th-12th grade) classes. Sunday school meets from 9:00 to 10:00 am on the 2nd Floor.

Current Classes

Middle School Sunday School: The Gospel of Luke

Luke’s Gospel seeks to give an “orderly account” of Jesus’ life and teachings. The book focuses on the fact that Jesus is the kind of King who was not expected by his people. Luke records many of Jesus’ most famous parables that reveal to us the heart of our King and the nature of his Kingdom. Join us as we study this amazing book!

High School Sunday School: (Literally) The Best Bible Study Ever: Jesus’ Use of Hyperbole

Andrew Triolo writes, “Sometimes Jesus uses some amazingly shocking things to help catch our attention in these stories through the strategic use of hyperbole.” Each week, this class will focus on one of Jesus’ teachings and seek to understand the point Jesus is trying to make in his use of hyperbole. This class follows a study published by Reformed Youth Ministries (RYM).

Youth Group

Youth Group meets on Sunday nights from 6:00-8:00 pm at the church building for games, snacks, and teaching. Group times are divided into middle school gatherings (6th-8th grade), high school gatherings (9th-12th grade), and combined gatherings for all students.

Current Series: Testimonies

Over the summer, our students will be hearing how God has worked in the lives of different men and women in our church. We look forward to hearing from Angela Lee, Caroline Little, Hannah Mosby, MJ Stodghill, Noah Settle, and Penny.

Service

CTK encourages students to get involved in service within our church community from volunteering in children’s ministry to assisting in the sound booth. We also encourage serving neighbors in our local community by volunteering at the Rescue Mission.
