Zoar Fellowship

Sunday School

Our Sunday School provides a nurturing environment for children of all ages to learn about faith, values, and community. Through engaging lessons, crafts, and activities, we help our youngest members grow in their understanding and love of God.

Sunday school students attend the first part of church and after the children's sermon (10:20) they go to their classrooms in the Fellowship Hall for their class time.

Vacation Bible School

Experience an exciting tie of faith, fun, and friendship at our annual Vacation Bible School. This program offers children a unique opportunity to explore biblical stories and teachings in an energetic and memorable way. This year the theme is "Adventure Island"!!  Contact Pastor Morgan or any of our Sunday School teachers for further information.

Church Camp

Church camp, at Dubois Center, offers a refreshing escape for youth to connect with nature, build lasting friendships, and deepen their spiritual journey through a variety of outdoor activities and reflective sessions.  Scholarships are offered to help minimize cost of attending.  Contact Pastor Morgan or any of our Sunday School teachers for further information.

Cemetery Board

The Cemetery Board oversees the care and maintenance of our church's final resting place, ensuring it remains a peaceful and respectful sanctuary for remembrance and reflection.
