Welcome to Youth Faith Formation!

Students attending the 9 AM service are invited to join in the fellowship and food in the Fellowship Hall after the service.  Class begins at 10:15 AM.  The teachers will escort the children to their classrooms when it is time to begin class. 

Nursery
Infant – Age 5

Childcare is available in the nursery on Sunday mornings from 8:45 to 11:15 a.m. We have a paid nursery staff member who is trained in Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED. Infants and young children are invited for supervised play and snacks.

Parents are asked to sign their child in to the nursery and sign them out in person when picking up their child.  

Pre-School/Toddler Class
Ages 2 years – Pre-Kindergarten

The children in this class will have a playful Sunday School experience using the Sparkhouse curriculum rooted in church life. Each lesson is Bible-centered, as students will learn more about Jesus. The lesson materials and activities are hands-on and engaging for young children.  

This class will be able to participate in age-appropriate singing, activities, and crafts.

Elementary Classes
K-2 and Grades 3-6th

We offer a Montessori play-based curriculum for our elementary-age students. This form of play-based learning invites children into the story and creates a space to explore how it relates to their lives. 

The children experience a story from the Bible, and through asking questions, they explore how the story connects with them and their lives. Then, they have the opportunity to do their work around the story, which can include arts and crafts, and play with the story elements.  

Middle School Class & High School Class
Grades 7-12

Middle School and High School classes are available.

Pastor Randy is our confirmation leader.  The confirmands meet once a week during the school year. 

The youth have the opportunity to be assistants in church services and participate in Adult Forum sessions. They are also invited to participate in service projects and monthly activities. We plan for the students to attend the ELCA Youth Gathering, which happens every three years, and encourage their participation in the Mission Guatemala trips.

All youth are invited to participate in worship as acolytes, ushers, readers, and, if they are in middle school or older, as assistant ministers.
