Our Children's Program:
Our Sunday School program for children ages K-6 meets during the church service from 10:15-11:10am. Sunday School uses a creative curriculum which focuses on story telling and allows the children to explore the their faith through the wondering, play, and creating with different materials. This program allows children to explore larger dimensions of belief and theological meaning.
The above photo is one of the ways children explored the story using art. We meet every Sunday during the worship service on the second floor, across from the nursery.
Our Youth Program:
Our middle school and high school students meet weekly NOW on Sunday at 11:15-12:30 pm. We have a creative curriculum which applies scripture to daily life with service activities, discussions, and hands-on, interactive group projects.
​
If you know a curious middle school or high school student who wants to learn about themselves, religion, and have fun, please come! Our group is open to you. We welcome and affirm all young people. We affirm LGBTQIA+ and all identities, cultures and learning styles, including young people of all backgrounds.
