Sunday School Ministries

Since its adoption by the General Assembly in 1906 the Sunday School department has been instrumental in reaching, teaching and establishing individuals in the Word of God.

In Zion Assembly, we believe that Sunday School helps accomplish one of the greatest needs of today, biblical education, and therefore is essential to the mission of the church. We are instructing individuals in the ways of God and establishing God’s people in the faith by teaching God’s Word on a consistent basis.
