Church School Begins August 24

We would love for your children to be a part of LRUCC’s church school this year. We have classes from pre-kindergarten through high school that are guided by a progressive Christian curriculum. Dedicated teachers lead each class in pairs on a rotation. Classes meet each Sunday during our worship service, following the Time with Children.
