Our Christian Education program is Open and Affirming and welcomes and supports ALL individuals and families — regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, mental health or ethnic, social, or economic backgrounds
Recognizing that we are all born into the Family of God, we offer worship and teaching opportunities for all ages-from cradle to grave. We celebrate children as children, and as present and future disciples in God’s Household. All, regardless of age or station are encouraged as leaders-talents are sought and affirmed.
Spiritual Growth for All Ages
Biblical Faith
Biblical stories and the teachings of Jesus are taught with an understanding of the historical context of the Bible and an awareness of our own culture.
Respect
Diversity of thought and culture is recognized and work for justice (economic, racial, social) is understood as one of the things that the Gospel calls us to do.
Relationships
Intergenerational learning and fellowship are encouraged through prayer-partners, group activities and outings.
Fun
We build a Biblical faith through music, art, games and stories.
