Faith begins here
Welcome to Our Sunday School
Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church offers Christian religious instruction to all school-aged children every Sunday morning during the school year, from September through June.
Our Sunday School program begins in the church at 10:00 a.m. with the Divine Liturgy. By participating in both worship and classroom instruction, children learn that faith is not simply a subject to study, but a life to be lived in Christ.

What Children Learn
Classes follow the curriculum provided by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Canada and are taught with love and dedication to Christ. Children explore the teachings of Christ through Holy Scripture, Bible study, the lives of the saints, feast days and the celebrations of the Church year.
Lessons and activities are designed to make the faith meaningful, memorable and appropriate for each stage of a child’s development.
