In the Bible Classes they will study the Old and the New Testaments while in the Confirmation Class the subject will be the Heidelberg Catechism and the Hungarian Reformed Catechism. This means that beside the Sunday School and Vacation Bible School our children will have the opportunity to study the Bible and the tenets of our Keformed Church more carefully under the instruction of the pastor.

During the month of October we are going to have religious instructions for those who recently joined our church and for those who plan to join our fellowship.
