Tenth’s Bible School for children and youth is a vital part of our ministry to the next generation. Bible School is held Sundays at 9 AM (with limited offerings at 11 AM) and 6:30 PM, providing something for every young person from the ages of 2 months to 18 years. Classes are divided by age or grade and are taught by competent and dedicated members from our congregation.
Children’s Bible School focuses on teaching children the truth of God’s Word to prepare them for ministry and personal witness in future years. In the early years lessons begin with an overview of both the Old and New Testaments, followed by more detailed stories, theology, and practical living applications in the later years. Lessons are accompanied by a robust memory work program including both scripture and catechism. For older students, we conduct an essay contest each year that gives them an opportunity to debate and explain a point of doctrine from the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Tenth’s Memory Work Program has been a feature of our Children’s Sunday School for more than 60 years. We understand that Bible memorization is a tool for making God’s word known to our covenant children. We hope and pray it helps them, “to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).
Because it is much easier to absorb and retain the verses in youth than in later years, our Memory Work Program applies several basic principles:
Proverbs

Join us as we study the concept of a Christian Worldview. As Christians, we need to understand that Jesus requires us to view the world like he does. What does it mean to try to live "the way, the truth and the life" as born-again believers in Jesus Christ? In this class, we will learn how to develop an apologetic framework that we can use to apply this worldview to the issues and challenges we confront in our lives.
Throughout this short and very personal epistle, Paul’s keynote message is one of joy for Christians who were living a worthy life. The word is found five times; the verb rejoice occurs eleven times. Some have referred to this epistle as Paul’s “hymn of joy” to the Philippians. Paul, however, was in prison waiting the death sentence, but wants to assure these believers and us that being a Christian is a joyful experience, despite the circumstances we may face. Come to this class to learn and discuss how Paul develops this theme. You may join this class via a Zoom link. Please contact the teachers for details.

This four-year course equips college students to view all of life through the lens of God’s Word. By God’s wisdom revealed in Scripture, students learn to see true reality (Psalm 36:9). You will gain a comprehensive overview of the Old and New Testaments, Christian ethics, church history, theology, and more, understanding that all Scripture is authoritative and profitable for every human endeavor (2 Timothy 3:16–17). The goal is to grow in the mind of Christ and live in His maturity in every sphere of life (Colossians 1:28).
Tenth will be having a service day performing several projects around the church, including carpentry, gardening, painting, cleaning, and more. We will provide all of the tools and supplies. Volunteers are encouraged to wear clothes that can get dirty and close-toed shoes.
Coffee and donuts will be provided for breakfast at 8:30am, and work will begin at 9. Lunch will also be provided. Please sign up to let us know you're coming, and what skills you may have.
