Classes for all ages are provided every Sunday at 9 A.M. A team of dedicated teachers and backup teachers address student needs at many levels. Student classes begin with the youngest students at age 4 in the Beginners Department. Students 5 years old through high school have graded classes using the curriculum published by the Standard Publishing Company, a company created to publish materials with a Christian Church perspective. There is also a College and Career class for those who have recently graduated from high school, are in college, or are young married couples. Adults have choices among several elective classes and special interest classes, such as the Bethany Class, which is primarily for single females, or a Special Education class for adults with disabilities. A class for Senior Adults also uses the curriculum from Standard Publishing Company.

Special events are scheduled each year to provide for student promotion, teacher recognition and teacher training. The Christian Education Ministry Team coordinates these events as well as the regular weekly classes.

In addition, this ministry team oversees the work of the Christian Church Library. The library houses a substantial collection of reading material and other media resources for members, parents, and teachers. The collection is constantly updated and organized for church member use.
