Our commitment is to a life-long journey of growing in faith and commitment. We have a strong Faith Formation Ministry for children, youth and adults, which includes intergenerational activities. There are spiritual growth opportunities for all ages on most Sundays during the program year.
A nursery is provided for infants during the Sunday service, and older children leave mid-way through worship to participate in Children's Faith Formation.
