What is Faith Tankk?
FAITH TANKK is a time to meet each Sunday morning from 9:15 am to 10:15 am to learn how to be a disciple of Christ. This hour is for ALL ages and ALL people.
Every baptized person should be in some sort of community where they learn more about God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and grow in their own faith walk. Being in community keeps us accountable to others and provides an opportunity to share what God is doing in our lives. God created us to be in community; to pray for one another, to encourage one another.
Due to subliminal messages in the media, children are having a negative attitude toward Sunday SCHOOL. So in an effort to change this message, Zion is not going to use the term Sunday School. We are now all in the FAITH TANKK, where we are learning about Jesus and what it means to live out our lives daily as disciples of Jesus.
In FAITH TANKK, we have a higher adult to child ratio for small group building. Our curriculum is called Seasons of the Spirit. This curriculum allows the children to learn in FAITH TANKK what is being taught in worship. This increases parent and child communications and gives parents an opportunity to discuss with their child what has been learned at church.
We offer classes for 2 years old through adults. Come join us!
