The Christian Education Team is currently working on ramping up the youth’s attendance since Covid-19 swept through the globe. Pre-pandemic, we offered Sunday School for kids along with a fully staffed nursery for little ones. Throughout the year (especially during Advent and Lent), we offered weekday studies, as well, led by our ministerial team. We also believe that spiritual formation occurs by living in community, and we are slowly adding less structured fellowship opportunities back to our calendar for all ages each month. Currently, all our children are welcome to attend our worship services, and we can provide quiet, private areas for nursing mothers if needed – just ask an usher for assistance. See our Events page for the most up to date information about what is happening and where.
