Curriculum
We recognize that "curriculum" is not just the teaching material we use, but how we live the teachings of Christ in all we say and do at church and in our lives through our thoughts, words and deeds…"loving God with our heart, soul and strength and our neighbor as ourself." Curriculum is taught in all that happens at Kernersville Moravian Church as we practice lives of faith in agreement with the word of God and the expression of the Covenant for Christian Living.
The discipline of study of the Word is carried out in our Sunday School classes and mid-week Bible studies. Here are the courses of study used in these classes.
