Bible History Classes LCPS
The Association of Congregations has taken on the responsibility of fundraising for the Bible history classes taught at Kinston, South Lenoir, and North Lenoir High Schools. Funding is short about $21,000 for the 2025-2026 school year, and the classes are at risk of being removed from the curriculum. If you’re interested in investing in this ministry opportunity, pick up an info flyer in the church’s Grand Hall.
