“Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Spiritual Formation for OUR Children
Our children's ministry is a vibrant and important part of our ministries as a church. We take seriously our responsibility to teach and train children in the faith in the hope that they will grow into faithful followers of Christ.
We have many ways for children to grow in their faith and be engaged with the larger church body.
Sunday School teachers and leaders being consecrated for service in 2021.
Children's Message (during worship) - During the Sunday morning Worship service there is time included for a children's message connected to the Scripture reading that day. Children are invited to come forward and interact with the pastor (or others) in the Bible truth being shared for the week.
Sunday School - After the children’s message, age-appropriate classes are offered for children of all ages. The teachers are dedicated members of the church who possess a love for children and a gift for teaching. Our church uses The Jesus Storybook Bible curriculum for younger students and the Be Bold curriculum for preteens which engage a multitude of learning styles for our children.
Acts of Love – Periodically, during Worship, children and youth work together to do practical, hands-on acts of love to express their faith in tangible ways. In the past activities have included making cards, planting a pollinator garden, and baking brownies.
Christmas Pageant
Monthly Youth Gatherings - Once a month, the youth gather on a Saturday night to share a meal, listen to a short devotional, and play games. Hide ‘n’ seek has been a youth favorite!
Christmas Pageant - Each December brings the much- anticipated Christmas pageant to our church. The children spend several weeks during Sunday school rehearsing for their big performance on a Sunday morning during church! It is a great celebration of the season, and a wonderful way for the children to learn more about what it means that God comes into our midst as a little child.
Camping - Some of the children from our church go to summer camp at Camp Squanto at Pilgrim Pines.
