Parents are the most important teachers and ministers in any child's life. The Glenview Church School provides a caring and nurturing environment for children to learn about God and the Christian Faith. Children are given opportunities to study the Bible and learn about the relationships between lessons learned and contemporary life. As they grow spiritually they are encouraged to participate fully in the life of the Church community and the community at large. At Glenview Presbyterian Church, parents are encouraged and helped to fulfill their role as primary Christian educators. Glenview's Church School assists in this endeavor by providing a creative and stimulating program for children and youth.
