Sunday School Catechetical Program

The phiolosophy of the Saint Barbara Sunday School program is based on a Chirstocentric approach, which prepares the students with priciples of the Orthodox Faith, encouraging them to grow in God's service.  Our program seeks to build a solid foundation for the children of our community through exemplary lessons in the teaching and worship practices of the Greek Orthodox Faith.
