What Our Members Say

“Sunday school (Bro Keith Cowling’s class to be exact) has allowed me to connect with the amazing church families of FBC in a way like never before. They are so intentional about making you feel so special, known, and cared for as if you are one of their own. I find myself now, not just sitting in the back and receiving the blessings, but also striving be a blessing by doing the same for new visitors who join the class.”

Mamie S.

Bro. Tim Reay is my wonderful Sunday school teacher. I look forward to his Spirit-filled, fervent, and exciting challenges from God’s Word each week. They are practical and life changing.

Paul O.

“My husband, Wes, and I have attended the Greater Vision Sunday School class for many years. We absolutely love it. It is a time set aside, every Sunday, where we get to spend time with other married couples and single adults to learn more about the Lord. Bro. Osgood is such a great teacher of God’s Word that we learn something new every Sunday.”

Deborah W.

“By the love and faithfulness of many teachers, Sunday School shaped my life by grounding me in God’s Word. Having that connection with faithful men in our church is something I am incredibly thankful for. Their example of Christlike devotion continues to motivate me to point others to Jesus!”

John W.

“My first exposure to First Baptist Church of Hammond was a Sunday school class that I was invited to attend by a family member. As seasons of my life changed, so have the Sunday school classes I’ve been a member of. Coming from a different religion, I find Sunday school as a valuable time to feel like I “fit in” in a church as large as FBC. My closest friends at this church are the other members of my Sunday school class.”

Amanda H.

I grew up in Sunday school and church. I learned core beliefs as a child in Sunday school. When we started our family, we knew Sunday school would be a must. Whether teaching a 4th grade class, helping a teacher, or just attending an adult class, Sunday school is a place where I get to be a blessing and fellowship with like minded people.
