Education / children and youth
Covenant children,
part of the church.
We believe children belong in the life of the church, not adjacent to it. They worship with the whole family from infancy, and learn in classes of their own at 10:00 before the service at 11:00.

Classes run for every age from toddlers through 12th grade, taught by members of the church, while the adults meet in classes of their own. This year the younger classes are walking through The Biggest Story, tracing the one storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and families continue it at home with the weekly at-home guide.
From infancy, children join the whole congregation for covenant worship at 11:00. It can be messy and hard, and we believe it is worth it: the goal is not for children to learn to be quiet in worship, but to learn to worship. The covenant worship page explains why, with practical tips for parents and a word written directly to children.
A nursery room is available during the service for infants and toddlers, with a full glass view and an audio feed, so parents of the youngest miss nothing while they care for their little ones.
Each summer the church runs Vacation Bible School, a week of Bible teaching, songs and games for children. The week is set around the school calendar and announced in the bulletin and on the events page.
Parents
Bring them with you.
Classes for the kids at 10:00, worship all together at 11:00, and the nursery is there when you need it. Someone at the front doors will walk you to the right room.
