Learn & Connect

Children's Faith Formation

Our programs help children learn the biblical and spiritual traditions of our faith, feel a sense of connection to church, and love God and their neighbors.

We provide the foundation of a child's faith journey through participation in spring musicals, Evening in Bethlehem, Vacation Bible School, children's choirs, and Backyard Sunday School.

  • Faith and Film - Watch a film and meet to discuss
  • Women's and Men's Retreats

We gather as a church, welcoming people of all abilities, backgrounds, ethnicities, and those who are LGBTQ+, to become more aware of the love of God in our lives and to make real that love in the world through worshiping, serving humanity, and seeking to follow in the ways of Jesus.
