Christian Formation

Adults

  • Sunday school classes for adults and children are offered in between services at 9:15am. Children are taught lesson plans based on the Sunday lectionary, and adults are following a curriculum led by Fr. Richard called “The Bible and the Book of Common Prayer.” This class is also to prepare for confirmation.

  • These studies are on-going & welcome new visitors or members at any time.

Children

  • Nursery is provided for all children, newborn until 5 years of age, every Sunday from 9-10:30 am. Our nursery is more than just a babysitting service. We believe that early childhood is the perfect time to begin teaching the word of God. Children will enjoy a Bible story, as well as, engaging activities and crafts.

  • Children’s church is offered for children, ages 3 to 7. Children are encouraged to actively participate in the children’s church worship service in ways that are meaningful for them. We sing, pray, light candles, read from the Bible and listen to a lesson. The children take turns preparing the altar. We also incorporate the use of the Book of Common Prayer. Everyone returns to the main service to participate in Holy Communion with their family.

    Children's Church is offered September through May.
