Sunday School Classes

We value expositional...teaching of God's Word for the ongoing edification and reformation of the church.

At Clifton, we desire to equip members in understanding and applying God’s Word in order to live as transformed disciples of Christ. Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matt 22:37).  The apostle Paul also exhorts the church in Corinth, “Do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature” (1 Cor 14:20).  We view regular Bible teaching to be essential to the renewing of our minds and growing to maturity in our thinking. Therefore, we provide  classes for nursery, kids, youth, and adults.  All of our classes meet on Sunday mornings from 9:30am-10:30am.

Children's Ministry Classes

Nursery (Infant-3yo)
First Floor
Our nursery consists of a centralized check-in area, a sleeping area, a nursing mother’s area, and developmentally appropriate rooms for children ages birth through three years.Our vision and goal in the nursery is not only to serve parents by providing safe, quality childcare, but also to create an atmosphere where the greatness of God and the glory of Jesus Christ are made known even to the smallest baby.
Kids (PreK-5th Grade)
Third Floor
We seek to teach children the basic storyline of the Bible and how all of the Bible points to Jesus. Sunday school is one of the primary ways we do this. We also facilitate Scripture memory and the study of a children’s catechism.
Youth (Grades 6th-12th)
Fourth Floor
Sunday School classes for middle and high school students happen each Sunday morning at 9:30am on the fourth floor. Emphasis is placed on teaching through books of the Bible and other relevant topics.

Adult Classes

Sunday School teaching is intentionally provided in a format that gives the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the instructor and other members over the truths of Scripture. It complements our preaching ministry by providing a context for a fuller consideration of texts and topics than may be covered in weekly sermons. For adults, we offer several class options. Some classes work through topics of theology or Christian living. Some classes study verse-by-verse through books of the Bible. All classes are open for anyone to attend.  No need to register, just show up!
