Faith Formation for Children & Youth
“Train children in the way they should go; when they grow old they won't depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6
Growing the Hearts of Children and Youth
At UCC (Congregational), we partner with parents to introduce children to Jesus, create experiences to learn Bible stories, and cultivate relationships through outreach at Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Confirmation, Youth Group, and more.
Through fun and engaging age-appropriate teaching, we are committed to providing a safe environment for children to be introduced to:
God and God's love for them and Jesus and how to love like Jesus.
