Children and youth
Growing up here
People of all ages are welcome here, and all of us are still growing in our faith. Children are welcome in worship, and there is a place for every age the rest of the week.
Nursery
A staffed nursery downstairs is open during worship for babies and toddlers who would rather play.
Sunday School
Preschool through grade 5 meets at 11 AM during the school year on the third floor of the Education Building. The Christian Education team adds Kick Off Sunday in the fall, the Children's Christmas Program, service projects and, in the summer, Camp Congo, our own week of vacation Bible school.
Faith in Action youth
Middle and high school youth meet Wednesdays at 5:15 PM during the school year for fun, support and the place where faith and growing up meet, led by Iris Strong. The group takes on service projects through the year.
Confirmation
Confirmation class is for youth who wish to be confirmed, usually in grades 7 and 8.
Youth Choir and Tone Chimes
Cathy Bixby leads the youth music program, open to every young person, member or not, at any level of experience. Youth Choir, for grades 3 through 8, rehearses Wednesdays at 6:45 PM during the school year and sings in worship once a month. Several times a year the older children play Tone Chimes, rehearsing once a week for four weeks before a Sunday service.
"We choose a variety of songs through the year so the young children learn traditional Bible songs, carols and spirituals. As they mature, they learn to sing in parts," Cathy says.
You are welcome here
Join us Sunday at 10 AM
The service lasts about an hour, there is a staffed nursery downstairs, and coffee waits in Fellowship Hall afterward. Can't get here? The service is live on YouTube and Facebook every week.
