Nurturing Spirituality
Developing a relationship with God is possible at any age. For our youngest pupils, this involves learning more about the presence of good in their lives and drawing inspiration from Jesus for how to treat others. For young adults, it means being able to address difficult questions.

Sunday School is a weekly, one-hour session during which students learn about the Bible and about the power of prayer. Children and young people up to the age of 20 are welcome to attend.

Who can attend Sunday School?
Our Sunday School is open to children from the age of 3 up to their 20th birthday. We have a crèche with a nursery for infants and very young children. Pupils and their families do not have to be Christian Scientists to attend. Sunday School is for the teachers and pupils only; parents (or guardians) are, however, welcome to attend the Sunday service in English, which takes place at the same time.

We are a lay church, so Sunday School is taught by members who are experienced Christian Scientists.
