Children's Connect seeks to provide formation for children through scripture, prayer, and relationships in order to develop strong connections to God and each other. The Children's Faith Commission meets monthly to plan, coordinate, and support our teachers.
Littlest Disciples: 2, 3, and 4-year-old class
This class meets weekly to read a story, play with manipulatives, and do a simple craft. Parents are welcome to stay or drop off. [Note: Diapers will not be changed.]
Kids' Club: Kindergarten – 3rd Grade
Kids' Club learns one story over several weeks, starting by hearing the story through Godly Play. Consecutive weeks are taught through art, games, science, drama, etc.
Survivor: 4th & 5th Grades
Our oldest elementary students begin to dive deeper into scripture as they prepare to make the transition to youth group.
Children are Welcome in Worship
Worship aides are available at each service to help children stay engaged. Activity bags with coloring pages and fidgets, as well as a variety of books to read. Each of our worship spaces also has a "soft space" where children can move about throughout the service. The 9:00 a.m. service on Sunday in All Saints Hall features a children's sermon and a few more opportunities for children to participate in the service.
Children are also welcome in worship in the Historic Church. The Church has the same activity bags and books, with its "soft space" located downstairs in the Undercroft. A changing station and a TV livestreaming the service are also downstairs.
