Sunday School

Smithville Brethren Church welcomes all who seek to know God. Whether you are a mature follower of Christ, looking to begin your Christian journey, or just curious about our church, we welcome you to come as you are to worship, learn, and fellowship with us.

We are committed to offering educational ministries and programs with leaders and teachers dedicated to helping us learn and grow as disciples of Christ.

We believe that Sunday school is one of the most enriching educational experiences we can have to deepen our understanding of God. Sunday school is also about equipping each other with practical, Bible-based applications to help guide us through the highs and lows of life, while nurturing a personal relationship with God that will grow over the course of our lives.

Below are descriptions of our adult Sunday school classes. Most adult classes and all children's classes meet from 10:15 - 11:10am in different areas throughout the church. If you would like to attend a class and are unsure where it is located, please ask a greeter, usher, or pastor and they will be glad to assist you.

We also have small groups that form and meet for specific purposes and needs. For more information on these groups please contact the church office at (330) 669.2267.

Thank you for your interest in Sunday school and we hope to have you join us this week!
