Provide religious education and a Syriac Orthodox Christian foundation for the children of our community.  To help young people come to know, love, and serve God as revealed in Jesus Christ.

      Develop knowledge about our Lord Jesus Christ as we provide opportunities for participation, exploration, and connections in, of, and among stories, lessons, and experiences of our biblical heritage at appropriate stages in each child's development.

      Believe the love of God is experienced through warm and caring relationships at home, church, and community and work to promote these relationships.

      Honor the gifts with which each of us have been blessed, and explore options for using these gifts to connect with the students and faithful parishioners of our Syriac community. 

 

Instruction:

What we see and do in church introduces to the children numerous Syriac Orthodox traditions which form an important part of our Orthodox way of life. The lessons cover such topics as Prayer, the Holy Bible, Holy Communion, Baptism, Icons, Candles, Saints and other similar topics. Using the timeless teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ we try to model our own lives, and to do our works through Love.
