What to Expect
Sunday Service with Kids:
We love having kids in the service! We have coloring books and crayons in the back, and scrap paper in the pews to help with busy hands. There is also a nursery and nursing mom's room that you are welcome to go in and out of with your children if they need a break or are learning to sit in church. We have televisions in both that can stream the service.Sunday School:
In 2023, we started to walk through the New City Catechism as a whole church. After the service, we are doing a cooperative kids’ and family Sunday School class downstairs (except on the first Sunday of each month). The New City Catechism Sunday School curriculum is mostly geared for elementary age through middle school but all ages are welcome! It has a one room schoolhouse feel. Just like upstairs in church, the lessons can scale up or down, and as a family we can build on what we hear and help each other apply it. We’ll have a couple group activities, review of our Catechism questions, and teaching time with discussion. We love having parents stay and older kids get engaged.Adults and Parents are encouraged to learn the same material midweek and can discuss it together after service. We encourage you to stick around to fellowship and get to know each other. Check out our Learning Together page for information on what we are learning this year.
Communion and Fellowship Dinner:
On the first Sunday of the month we have communion with a pot luck fellowship dinner downstairs after the service.Midweek:
