CHILDREN IN CHURCH

We love children in worship—their noises and wiggles are welcome, too. There are pillows in the front where they can see the instruments and participate fully, or the coloring, book, and play area is available in the corner near the windows. Their movements back and forth are a joy for all of us.

SUNDAY MORNING YOUTH

(Middle and High School)

Youth often gather together in the balcony, where they connect with each other and have a wide view of the service. Youth meet after worship until 1:00 pm.

FIRST SUNDAY COMMUNION

On the first Sunday of each month, all children join their family of faith for the full worship service and sacrament of Communion. Some children choose to sit with their parents/ guardians, while many sit with supportive adults on pillows in the front of the congregation. There they can see everything that is happening close-up. Wiggles and sounds are welcome in worship!

LEADING SUNDAY WORSHIP

Children and youth play an active part in the Sunday morning service. They ring the church bell to start the service, lead liturgical readings, share their musical talent, help with communion and call for the morning offering. 

JOURNEY TOGETHER

(Kindergarten-Middle School) This multi-age group will begin meeting again in fall of 2022. They explore ways to practice faith and build friendships through field trips, guest speakers, mission projects, and special activities.

THE CHILDREN'S GARDEN

The Children’s Garden is a church school mission project. The produce and flowers from the garden are shared with local nonprofit organizations. Families are invited to be “Garden Angels”—volunteering to care for the garden for a week during the summer.
