Sunday School Assumption Long Beach

Building a strong foundation of faith for every child

Sunday School Assumption Long Beach is a vital part of our parish life, helping children grow in their understanding of the Orthodox Christian faith while building friendships, confidence, and a sense of belonging within the Church.

We invite all families to participate in our Sunday School program, which takes place each Sunday during the school year, from September through June. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} After receiving Holy Communion, children gather for age-appropriate lessons designed to connect faith with everyday life.

What Is Sunday School Assumption Long Beach?

Sunday School Assumption Long Beach is our religious education program for children of all ages. It is designed to help students grow in the Orthodox Christian way of life through Scripture, Holy Tradition, and active participation in the life of the Church.

Our goal is simple but powerful: to help each child develop a Christ-centered foundation that will guide them throughout their lives.

What Children Learn

Sunday School provides a structured and engaging environment where children learn about:

• the teachings of Jesus Christ
• the Bible and Holy Scripture
• the lives of the saints
• the meaning behind church services and traditions
• how to live their faith in everyday life

Lessons are tailored to each age group, ensuring that children not only understand what they are learning, but also enjoy the experience.

More Than a Classroom

Sunday School at Assumption is more than just education—it is about formation. Through the program, children build friendships, develop values, and begin forming a moral compass rooted in faith, truth, and love.

We want every child to feel comfortable in the Church, confident in their beliefs, and connected to a supportive community.

Partnering with Families

We believe that faith is strongest when it is supported both at church and at home. Families are encouraged to participate actively by attending regularly, arriving on time, and staying engaged with their child’s learning experience.

Communication between parents and teachers helps ensure that each child receives the support they need to grow and succeed in their faith journey.

When Sunday School Meets

Sunday School Assumption Long Beach meets every Sunday during the regular school year (September through June). Children attend class following Holy Communion as part of their Sunday church experience. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Part of Our Youth Ministries

Sunday School is one part of a vibrant youth community at Assumption. Families are also encouraged to explore Little Lambs, HOPE & JOY, GOYA, Myrrhbearers, and Athletics as children grow through each stage of parish life.

A Foundation That Lasts a Lifetime

Through Sunday School Assumption Long Beach, children are not only learning about their faith—they are building a lifelong relationship with the Church. The lessons, friendships, and experiences they gain here help guide them toward a life rooted in faith, purpose, and community.
