Children's Ministry

Picture
Our mission is to provide a gospel centered curriculum that welcomes, supports and nurtures
​our young people across every stage of their spiritual Journey.
 
​

Children's Ministry is divided into three age groups
to better accommodate developmental milestones and personal faith journeys. 

Children's Ministry is divided into three age groups to better accommodate developmental milestones and personal faith journeys. 

Nursery (0-3 years): The nursery will be staffed with two teachers from 8:45-11:15 in our upstairs nursery. Here our little ones ages 0-3 will begin building their spiritual foundation through play and discovery. Our teachers will be using a Godly Play based curriculum including small crafts and feast.  

Godly Play (4K-2nd grades): Our children 4K-2nd grade will continue to use the Godly Play curriculum. Godly Play is a Montessori-based curriculum with a focus on “making meaning through story, wonder, and play while nurturing spiritual lives by honoring the centrality, competency, and capacity of children.” Miss Gabby will be teaching this group in our upstairs Godly Play room.  

Upper Elementary Group (3rd-5th grades): The Upper Elementary group we will be using the Episcopal Church Curriculum (ECC) 3-year program. This curriculum is “biblically based” and “liturgically oriented” with a focus on “faith and practice” for the Intermediate child. Leighton will be the primary teacher for this group and the class will be held in the Gallery. 

For this Fall, our two themes are "Covenant" (September 11-October 30th) and "Advent + Miracles" (November 6th-February 20th).
