Keeping faith with the promises we make to our children and their families at baptism “to love and nurture them in Christ” and embracing the joy and energy they bring to our congregation, we provide many opportunities for children and their families to learn the stories of our faith, build friendships, and find their place in our community.
After being dismissed from the 9 a.m. service, we will have a weekly children’s choir from 9:30 until 10 in the CE building. Kids between the ages of 6-12 are invited to stay for Sunday School from 10-10:50.
Kids between 2-5 will have their Sunday School time from 9:30-10:00, followed by free play from 10:00 -10:50 in the CE building.
Middle school students are welcome to sing and help the Children’s Choir, after which they will have their own Sunday School.
Adult Sunday School, led by professor of New Testament Dr. Brigidda Bell, also takes place at 10 a.m. in the CE building.
Friday Fun Night (FFN) takes place on the third Friday of the month from 6 – 8 p.m. Parents are invited to drop their kids off at the CE building for a night of games, food, music, and storytime. This year, FFN will be open to 2 – 5 year olds too.
