Children’s Ministry

Programs for Infants to 5th Graders
from September 2024 – May 2025

Every Sunday morning during service we have spiritual programming for our youngest community members. We share worship with children using monthly spiritual themes drawn from Soul Matters.

All children’s programming will be offered at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services.

In 2024-2025 we will explore the practices of our faith.

Children’s Choir for 1st – 5th Graders

This is a non-auditioned group open to children in first through fifth grade. Beginning in fall 2024, this group will rehearse 10:40am to 11:10am every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month. This group will typically sing in services on the first Sunday of the month, since that is when children and adults begin in the sanctuary together.
