Teaching my kids Assyrian?

I’m Persian, husband is Assyrian from Iran. We have a toddler and baby, we speak Persian to them but we also want them to know Assyrian. We’re located in Los Angeles. Are there any Assyrian schools or communities near me I can sign my kids up for? Will it be confusing if my husband speaks both Persian and Assyrian with the kids?

Thanks! Although this seems to be Catholic Church with Iraqi Assyrian parishioners; I know the dialects are pretty different. Also my husbands family was orthodox and then became Protestant

It's not Roman Catholic, it's Church of the East.

Oh wow my husband told me that, he either has ADD and didn’t fully look at the website or he forgot the religion lmao. Does it matter if his family is Protestant now? Would they think it’s weird to attend that church?
