LEADERS

SCRIPTURE
SPECIAL RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Volunteers from our local churches teach Scripture in Glenhaven Public School. Scripture supports school parents who wish for their child to receive education in the Christian faith. The children love learning about Jesus in an engaging and age-appropriate way.
The Scripture curriculum is developed by Youthworks (Anglican Diocese of Sydney) and is approved by the NSW Department of Education and Training. You can find more information about our Scripture curriculum here.
All Teachers are trained in Safe Ministry, have provided a verified Working With Children Check and have received instruction in Christian education.
Emmanuel Church believes that a healthy church family benefits from younger and older members worshiping together.
