Some of St. Basil’s teens hang out at a youth getaway.

Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 19:13-15

We all have a special place in our hearts for our children, and we are dedicated to bringing them up in the wholeness of the Christian faith. Sunday School classes are available for all school-aged children after Sunday divine liturgy (except during the summer). Our entire staff of 12 teachers and both our education directors have received diocesan training and are fully certified as an Educational Ministry Team (EMT).

Besides classes, the EMT also hosts events through the year that bring children, teachers and families together to enjoy fellowship and grow together in love and understanding. In 2009, that included our annual Nativity play, a St. Nicholas Day retreat and numerous lock-ins at the church.

Education co-directors: Sherie Hendren; Nouha D’Alessio
