CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
NAPLES UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
Our mission is to educate children with Biblical knowledge, prayer, love, compassion and acceptance. We strive to build strong relationships and help children discover God's purpose for their lives. It is our desire to educate children to make an educated personal choice in their faith. We practice a SAFE CHURCH policy. Our staff and volunteers all receive background checks. Two certified adults lead our classes and events.
