6th Grade

Sixth graders are looking for heroes, and they will find many to pattern their lives after as they study such outstanding Old Testament figures as Daniel, Elijah, and Esther. They will also learn many important values by studying stories such as the parables of Jesus. These stories teach students about being compassionate, having faith in God’s provision, knowing that God still loves His wayward children, anticipating Christ’s return, and praying for specific things. Those attributes are just a few important truths that each sixth grader will learn and can apply to his life.
