Weekend Education
Godly Play is a Montessori-based education approach, in which children hear a Bible story and have opportunities to engage the story through playing with toys, art supplies, and other various activities.
This program is offered during worship on the first and third Saturdays of the month and the second and fourth Sundays of the month, for children ages 3-3rd Grade.
​

Parents are invited to engage in the instruction with their children and First Communion is celebrated on Maundy Thursday.

Family Ministries
Parents of Peace grew out of a need for families with young children to build relationship and connection with one another. Beginning in February 2023, this group has met twice-monthly over the last few years.
​
The purpose of Parents of Peace is to build community and help our children feel comfortable with other people of faith. We would love to bring you, your family, and your kids into the fold!
