Sunday School
Explore Faith and Wonder With Us
There is lots of good energy growing around our Children, Youth & Family ministries! As we move into the coming season, we're creating more ways for our young people to wonder, question, create, connect, and become an active part of the life of our congregation.
Take a look at what's on the horizon:
The Nursery is Reopening!
We are delighted to be preparing a welcoming nursery space again for our littlest ones and their families. As we begin accepting new families and their little loved ones, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Sunday School and MultiGen Gatherings
Sunday School continues to offer opportunities for story, creativity, spiritual practice, play, and exploration. Our Multigeneratinal Gatherings will bring children, youth, adults, and elders together - because some of our best learning happens when generations share the table, tell stories, make things, laugh, and wonder together.
Young Folks Asking The Questions
Watch for our children and youth after Sunday Celebrations as they become our congregation's interviewers! They'll be asking wondering questions, gathering stories, and discovering the wisdom, humor, and experiences of the people who make up our community.
A New MultiGen Website Page!
We're also creating a new, interactive Multigen webpage; a safe and welcoming place for children, youth, and families to continue spiritual exploration throughout the week. Look for wondering questions, creative activities, spiritual practices, resources, and ways to stay connected beyond Sunday morning.
There is so much more taking shape as we imagine what it means to be a community where children and youth aren't simply included - they are seen, heard, valued, and invited to help shape who we are becoming!

Walking With Love: An Invitation to Confirmation
Are you wondering about faith, God, community, or what it means to live your values in the world?
You are invited to Walking with Love, a Confirmation journey, inviting youth to explore faith with curiosity rather than simply search for 'right answers.' Through conversation, storytelling, spiritual practices, creativity, field trips, mentors, and plenty of questions, we'll explore what it means to make faith our own.
Together we'll explore questions like; What do I believe about God, love, and mystery? Who am I becoming? What does it mean to live with compassion, courage, and integrity? How can my faith help me navigate a complicated world? Where do I belong, and how can I help others belong? What does it mean to say yes to a life of love?
Walking with Love is a progressive Christian journey rooted in curiosity, community, spiritual practice, and the freedom to ask honest questions. Whether you are certain, uncertain, curious, skeptical, or somewhere beautifully in between, there is room for you here. Come walk with us!

Blessing to you!
