Our Bible Classes
Having a Faith of One’s Own
Youth Bible Classes at Kleinwood Church of Christ
Training our children to “live by faith,” by engaging their mind, hands, feet, voice, and heart.
Faith is both the principles and practices laid out in the Gospel and a personal commitment to the Lord Jesus that is lived daily. Faith can easily become nothing more than half-remembered Bible trivia and worship reduced to chores on a checklist. Our knowledge and actions were never intended to operate alone. They need to be aided by a heart enlightened with faith. So, a successful Bible class is one that engages the heart.
Our goal is for students to leave our program “obedient from the heart” (Rom 6:17) and knowing enough to “live by faith” (Rom 1:17).
Teach the Bible
God’s people need to know His Word (Rom 15:4). We focus on both the individual stories and the big picture, understanding how each book, chapter, and verse comes together to form the one story of the Bible (Col 1:16-19).
Explore Practice & Application
Students need to talk about lives devoted to Jesus (John 20:31). These discussions can be challenging, but they will equip young people to judge and act well in their daily lives (Phil 4:9).
Early Childhood Classes

A place for mothers and their babies to learn in an organized setting. From a very young age, and with repetition, your babies can learn songs and stories about God’s word!
