To learn what is happening each week either: Group, Chapel, or Whole church/Holiday dates: CLICK HERE for This Week in Family Faith Formation

Curricula: PreK-5th graders will explore the same theme of the month that their adults hear in the sanctuary, but in age appropriate way.  Our time on-site with each age group strives to be experiential. In other words, each session is designed to engage children in three fundamental spiritual experiences; what we call“The Three S’s.” We see the “three S’s” as an antidote and alternative to competitive, media-saturated and materialistic culture.

   Silence = meditation, listening, mindfulness,
   Service = leadership, helping others
   Sunshine = connection with nature and our bodies through outdoor activities or movement.”

After three or four visits, or when you know this is the faith community for your family:
Contact the Acting Children’s Program Coordinator, Saundra Clements, to
Register and give information and permission for your children to participate.
