St. Stephen's Children's Summer Sunday School
“Creative with God” is the theme of this year’s St. Stephen’s Children’s Summer Sunday School which begins Sunday, June 13.
Each Sunday through Aug. 22, a new Summer Sunday School video will be added to the St. Stephen’s YouTube Channel, featuring a member of the St. Stephen’s family sharing his or her creative gift.
After viewing each week’s video, children will be invited to email photos of their creative works to children@ststephensfairfax.org based on the art being discussed that week. No matter what your summer schedule looks like, God will be there and wants to spend time with you. We hope you will join us Sundays on the St. Stephen’s YouTube Channel .
At left, you can view a Video Invitation to Children’s Summer Sunday School from Ms. Kate, our Sunday school coordinator.

Meet Rev. Jiyeon Kim, Associate Pastor for Children and First Impressions
Pastor Jiyeon was born in Incheon South Korea, and has travelled to the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, Turkey, and China. She graduated from Yonsei University in Seoul with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology and Social Welfare in 2008, and from Wesley Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 2012. Jiyeon enjoys meeting new people because it involves “learning a new world where I have never been, and inviting them into my world,” and loves teaching children about God because of “their pure and joyful heart toward God — and the unexpected answers they give me.” In her spare time, Jiyeon enjoys music, drama, organizing, and learning new things.
