Faith Formation

Children and Family Ministry serves all children, from Pre-K through fourth grade, and their families. We strive to work with families to provide a solid faith foundation in the early years of childhood.

Children are welcomed and involved in worship. Each Sunday service includes a special Children's Message, and children serve as acolytes during worship and cup bearers during Communion.

It can be hard for the youngest among us to sit! We provide a nursery during worship  for those up to 1st grade, and busy bags for children are available each week. We also have a cafe where caregivers can view the service, while children have a break.

Christian Education takes place during the hour  after worship each week from September through June. All children Pre-K  - 4th grade meet as a group and participate in an active, Bible-based curriculum called "Steppin' Through the Bible."

Whether it's our current special events: Mother's Day "Tea", Father's Day Ice Cream Social, & Advent Series; or our events under construction: Family Movie Night, Game Night, & Lenten celebration; our deepest desire is to keep children and families connected through faith, food and fun!

Caring for and serving others is an important part of the Christian life. We seek opportunities for children to serve: from the Harvest House Baby Shower; to "God's Work, Our Hands Sunday" ; to ELCA Good Gifts program, children learn the value of giving of themselves to others in different ways.
