Christian Education/Faith Formation
Our Christian Education/Faith Formation Ministry Team develops and provides programs, learning opportunities and activities that enhance the faith formation and development of spiritual awareness and growth in children, youth and adults throughout all phases of their lives.
We offer adult education opportunities including seasonal book studies, periodic seminars on timely and pertinent topics and an annual women's retreat.
Children & Youth Education Ministry offers:
-
Nursery – Care for infants through 4 years of age during the worship hour by staff (available every Sunday). Our Nursery is staffed by two Nursery Attendants (background checked and First Aid/CPR trained). When you come in, a Greeter will direct you to the Nursery Care Room. The Nursery Attendant will check-in your child and ask for your cell phone number, just in case the need arises to contact you during worship.
-
Our Children’s Church program is designed for all youth. Our curriculum is hands-on and mission-based. Throughout the school year we plan inter-generational events that support local charities.
-
Your children are welcome to join Children’s Church for any event or they can worship with you in the sanctuary (but they’ll probably enjoy our multi age-level ministries much more!). Sign up to receive our weekly newsletter to receive the latest news on Children’s Church. (Click on ‘Making Your First Visit?’ in the Menu Bar, then scroll to the bottom of the page).
-
Confirmation – Faith formation classes are held for young people exploring becoming full members of the church through declaration of faith. Each youth is assigned a mentor.

This includes visual arts, music, drama, and liturgy. During the seasons of Advent and Lent, an optional Bible or Book study related to the current Worship theme is also offered.
