Tenth Women’s Retreat

By /

PLEASE NOTE: Registration will close on Wednesday, January 14 at 5:00 PM. 

All Tenth women are invited to attend the 2026 Women's Retreat on Friday, January 23 at 5pm through Saturday, January 24 at 6:30pm at Camp Sankanac – The Traber Center. The total cost is $150.00 for overnight accomodations and 4 meals. There is a Day Guest option. The Day Guest fee is $30 for each day in addition to meal costs.

Children & Youth Bible School

By / Sundays at 9am, through June 14, 2026

Teaching God’s Word to the Next Generation

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.

Scripture Memory Program

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:

  • Mastery of whole Bible passages and chapters
    The best approach to Bible memorization is for a child to learn longer and related passages of scripture over time so that the contextual meaning of each passage becomes apparent. This is more fruitful than memorizing dozens of important but unrelated verses which may be easily forgotten.
  • Sequential scope
    We gradually increase the length of passages over the course of the program. First graders, for example, begin to memorize Exodus 20. After they complete the passage in the later elementary years, they review the entire chapter. In the same way, children progressively memorize Romans 8. In the early years, they learn parts of a verse; then the entire verse; and finally, neighboring verses until the entire chapter is learned.
  • Developmentally appropriate, progressively accelerated pace
    Children’s ability to memorize increases with age. We aim to match the pace of memorization with their developmental ability. Our youngest children move slowly through verses and passages. We pick up the pace as children enter the elementary years while at the same time reviewing many of the earlier memorized passages.


Global Outreach Conference

By /

BECAUSE OF HIM, BECAUSE OF CHRIST

“So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived” (Genesis 19:29).

God’s mercy and saving grace continue to move, even in places where evil seems to reign supreme and the gospel appears absent. The God who remembers the intercession of one righteous person (Abraham) and saves a family is the same God who, through Christ, has saved us when we were lost, rebellious, and without hope. God’s people continue to bear faithful witness to the gospel in dark places.

Please join us this fall for the 2025 Global Outreach Conference. We will have the opportunity to gather with mission partners who are living out the Great Commission in the hardest places and invite you to join us as we reflect and wrestle together.

How do they obey Christ’s command in their unique contexts?
How are we called to be steadfast and faithful in our own mission fields—our children, families, friends, and in our workplaces?
How do we remember and respond to Christ’s command today?

“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

May this conference be a time of reflecting, of being challenged, and of renewing our obedience—because of him, because of Christ.

Please contact Joe Park directly if you will be attending the Plenary Sessions at 2pm before the GO Conference Banquet.

Parents’ Prayer Ministry

By /

If you are the parent of a teen or adult child who is walking in rebellion against the Lord, you might feel alone—perhaps even hopeless. Finding other believers to pray with you about your child’s situation can be intimidating.

Tenth is starting a group for parents of “prodigal” children. The purpose of the group isn’t to find advice or answers. The purpose is to create a safe space for parents to be known in their sorrow and fear and to pray together for the Lord to have mercy on their children, and to turn them back to himself in repentance.

If you’re interested in being part of this prayer group, confidentially email Executive Minister Tim Geiger here.
