Each week our children and youth ministry connects with parents about the topics of the lesson in Sunday School so parents can dialog at home about the lesson during the week.
We hold a special Family Worship Service in the Traditional Sanctuary each month on the Second Sunday. Our children’s choir or talented children or youth provide special music. Children, youth, and/or their parents serve as liturgists, acolytes, ushers/greeters, and a variety of other ways when possible.
A variety of events are planned throughout the year for families to fellowship or serve together. During our Christmas Eve ministries many families serve together at one of the sites: Youth Center, Prison, Rescue Mission, etc.
