CHILDREN and
Families

you are Welcome here!
We believe church is a place for the whole family. Children of all ages are warmly welcomed and encouraged to be part of our church community.
Families, come just as you are. Join us on Saturday or Sunday for worship and fellowship. Bring your children, bring your questions, and come experience a warm and inclusive church family where everyone has a place.
When you come to a service, you can expect
- a warm welcome;
- special parking spaces, both in the front and back parking lots, for families with young children;
- opportunities for children to be involved in the service.
Do you have a Sunday School for my children?
- On the 2nd and 4th Sundays, beginning at 9:50 a.m., young children up to grade 4 are invited to join friends and teachers in the lower level classroom of the Parish House for crafts, bible stories and activities based on the Godly Play curriculum.
- Teens and 'tweens meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Parish House. They share a pizza dinner and then work and learn together, based on the curriculum called Journey to Adulthood.
To parents with young children in church,
- find a good spot to sit - a place where your children are comfortable and can see what’s going on;
- teach and explain. If your child is old enough, help him/her follow along in the bulletin;
- take breaks if necessary;
- talk with others other parents and ask for advice and help; and
- most importantly -- relax!
Our church is a place where children can learn about God, grow in faith, build friendships, and experience the joy of being part of a caring community. We encourage children to participate, ask questions, explore their faith, and discover that they have an important place in God's family.
