Sunday School
Waco Life is driven to teach individuals of all ages the principles in the Word of God. It is only through learning the Word of God that one becomes acquainted with the God of the Word. We hold Sunday school for kids, young adults, and adults from 2:00 to 2:30 pm each Sunday. These classes are taught by energetic teachers who are devoted to the spiritual maturation of the students. The classrooms are decorated according to the theme of the lesson. Students enjoy songs, puppets, activities, snacks, and a Bible based lesson each Sunday morning. All children and adults are welcome to come and taste of the good things that the Sunday school has to offer.
Bible Quizzing
Directors: Bro. Choyce and Sis. Devan Weatherly
The Bible quiz ministry is very active in the Waco Life UPC. It is an 8-month ministry in which young people memorize several hundred verses of selected scripture each year. They then attend quiz tournaments and compete with other young people from around the nation. If they win state finals, they are granted the privilege to quiz at the national tournament in the Summer. Bible quizzing is fun, and it equips young people to be effective in the work of God. Some benefits of Bible quizzing include:
1. Personal discipline in study habits
2. Time management
3. Exercising of memory skills
4. Development of team skills
5. Travel opportunities
6. Character development
7. Improved academics
8. Teen fellowship
Knowing the Word of God makes one free from the bondages of this life to experience real liberty in Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that every young person would hide the Word in his heart so that they would not sin against God.

Music Ministry
Music is a vital part of our worship service. At Waco Life it goes beyond mere words set to beautiful chords, but it enters into a realm where one communicates with God, lifting Him up an exalting His name. We believe in doing just as the Bible instructs in Psalms 150: ”Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with the stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals; praise Him upon the high-sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise Ye the Lord.” (Psalms 150:3-6)
Everyone involved in music at Waco Life-musicians, soloists, praise singers, hands-of-praise, children, and the choir – understand that anointed singing and music are an essential part of apostolic praise and worship.
Therefore, the goal of the music ministry is to:
1) create an atmosphere of praise and worship that ushers in the presence of the Lord;
2) foster a spirit of unity wherein people are comfortable praising the Lord;
3) prepare hearts for the preached word of God so that souls can commune with their creator.
"Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him” (Exodus 15:1-2).
“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD” (Zechariah 2:10)
“I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the understanding also” (1 Corinthians 14:15).
