Christian Education
“It is He whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.” — Colossians 1:28
Our goal is to be growing and maturing in Christ our whole life long, from the pregnant mother reading Bible stories to the child in her womb to the person in their 90’s saying, “I still have so many questions!” We value authentic inquiry at every age.
Adults
We don’t want you to park your brain at the door - we want you to bring it to church! Questions are enthusiastically welcomed. And we don’t always have the answers. But we can learn together.
Bible studies and other adult education opportunities are offered throughout the year; details are added for upcoming events as they become available.
Youth
Our youth ministry - known as “CrossTown” - is made up of students in the 4th through 12th grades from the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, St. Philip’s Episcopal, First United Methodist and Bethel “A” Baptist churches.
Children
All children ages 4 through the 5th grade are invited to join us for Godly Plan during the 10:30 service each Sunday morning during the school year. Godly Play is a Montessori-based approach to helping children explore their faith through story, wonder and play. Parents can drop off their children as they go into church, and the storyteller brings the children into the service at the passing of the peace so the family can participate in Holy Communion together.
Childcare is also available in the Education Wing during the 10:30 service, and children’s worship bags are available in the narthex for using during worship services.
