Church School

Sunday Mornings at the Congregational Church

Our Church School is committed to the moral and spiritual development of our children. Through Bible stories, music, worship, crafts and social justice projects, we strive to pass on the historic Christian faith — our legacy of love — to the next generation.

Our Church School is based on these principles:

  • It is possible to grow in the Christian faith without indoctrination or dogma. We trust that an open-minded, progressive approach to scripture and tradition can inspire a love of God.

  • By learning about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, children are given an example of compassion, justice, faith and love that will guide, inspire and enrich their own lives. But the Christ-centered nature of our Church School accepts that are other paths to God as well.

  • Social justice is an integral part of the Christian faith, not merely a by-product. We believe when our children learn about the state of the world and it's most impoverished, they are becoming Christian in a most basic sense.
Along with our Church School, our entire church seeks to be a safe, fun and nurturing community for children and youth.
