Raising Believers

The Sacrament of Holy Baptism

This ancient ritual marks a person's re-birth into Jesus. Parents and guardians bring their children to the baptismal font and promise to teach them the faith. Older children and even adults take this first step in new life in Jesus themselves. Small groups of folks interested in baptism gather to learn about this rite and to get to know others who are taking this step.

Sunday Children's Sermon

Worship services include a time for our youngest attendees (sometimes accompanied by an adult) to hear an interpretation of the Sunday scripture in "kid terms".

Sunday School

On Sunday mornings children from pre-school to grade 5 gather to learn about God's story through song, science, drama, crafts and storytelling. Special projects like the annual Thanksgiving Dinner served to the congregation and delivered  to shut-ins help the children learn about sharing and serving. 

Affirmation of Baptism: Confirmation

"Confirmation" students in grades 6-8 prepare for 'confirmation' - a ritual that calls on these young people to affirm the promises made by their parents (guardians) at their baptism. Each student is encouraged to have an active faith by doing service projects. Students have opportunities to share their faith journeys by interacting with others through a variety of activities. Using video, music, art and Bible work, the students take the next step in their faith life.
