Young ones are a critical part of our congregational life. Their sense of wonder is a gift to us all. We believe families are the most important influence in a child’s faith development, so we partner with you to help your children discover God’s love and to live their developing faith in everyday life.
Now is the time to register for 2021-22 Children’s Programs!
Age 3 – Grade 4
Sundays, starting September 26
10:40-11:20 am
Your children will learn bible stories and themes in their current grade-level groups rotating through stations such as bible storytelling, art, science, cooking, music, in 4 week workshops.
Interested in being a workshop leader?
There is a new rotational model for you this year. You can choose to lead a workshop 4 weeks at a time, based on your availability, rather than a full year commitment.
Grades 5-6
Wednesdays, starting September 29
7:00 – 7:45 pm
New! We have created a new pre-confirmation experience for your older kids. We’re excited to engage them in a more age-appropriate level of learning, while building community and excitement for the confirmation program, which will begin in grade 7.
Questions? Click HERE to contact Children’s Ministry Director, Lily Askegaard.
Age 3 – Grade 5
Grades 3-5
We extend a special invitation for communion instruction for families with children in grades 3-5, but also welcome instruction for younger children and their families. Whether this is your child’s first communion or your child has communed for many years, this instruction is a time to find deep connection in this sacrament of the Lutheran church. The next retreat will be held October 10, 2021.
