Little Steps to Big Faith
Start Faith Formation at birth
We are currently following the Spark: Activate Faith Curriculum. This curriculum explores key stories from Genesis to the letters of Paul in a two-year cycle. These lessons provide an age-appropriate study of the Bible while prioritizing hands-on learning and encouraging children to experience the salvation arc each year by exploring the Old Testament in the Fall and the New Testament in the Spring.

We are currently following the Frolic Nursery Curriculum that was developed by early childhood experts and introduces little ones to faith concepts in age-appropriate ways. It starts Faith formation at birth, nurturing faith through storytelling, prayers, and music.
Kids' Kirk
4 years old to 1st grade
11:00am (10:00am during the summer)
Children attend worship and are escorted to Kids’ Kirk after Children’s Time. Our teachers present the same lesson from Sunday School, reinforcing learning through repetition, while also taking time to “wonder” and ask questions to engage with God’s word. We introduce and practice specific worship components (Call to Worship, Offering, Scripture/Story, Response, etc.) in a safe environment. This time fosters fellowship through snack time, playtime, and creative expression (art), while also encouraging each child’s sense of belonging and participation in the worship life of our church.
