Ministry Note - October 19, 2018

Did you know the current Sunday School model used in the U.S. has been in existence for 250 years? Unlike some things that get better with age, the Sunday School model has not aged well. It’s time for change. In a world that is continuously moving away from Christ, we don’t have a minute to lose. We’re embracing a new Sunday School model here at PBC that will reignite the fire for knowing Christ and it begins in the family! Join us Sunday to learn more.
