Ministry Coordinator: Kh. Melanie Bell (mbell1134@hotmail.com)

The mission of the Saint Michael's Church School is to educate our children and foster a deep and close relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sometimes teaching is as simple as telling the stories of the Bible or the lives of the Saints. Other times the children learn complex theology. In every class, prayer and holiness are the centerpiece.

We work closely with the parents to shape and grow the values of Orthodoxy in our children. We encourage children to live their faith by studying the Holy Bible and Orthodox Christian doctrines, supporting the church, volunteering their time, stewarding their talents, and developing close, lasting relationships with fellow believers

If you would like to volunteer to teach Church School, please contact Kh. Melane Bell (724-834-1311).

Church School Teachers and Students will follow the Adult Choir in the line to receive Holy Communion, and then will go directly to their classrooms.  Please encourage your children to be respectful in the Communion line and to walk slowly to their classrooms after receiving.
