Our Approach to Christian Eductation for Children and Youth
Children are an essential part of our congregation--to be seen as well as heard from. The goal of the Christian Education Program at First Congregational Church is to help children and youth become responsible members of the church and society, able to apply their Christian faith to everyday life. Our program is based on the Bible and on the traditions of Christianity. In addition to a Bible based curriculum, we use, music, art, and drama to help the children learn and express their faith. Our teachers strive to model Christ’s love in all their interactions with the children. We encourage our children and youth to be involved in all aspects of the church’s life, including worship, fellowship, and service. Typically, the younger children engage in a Children's Sermon with the pastor before they leave the worship service to participate in church school. The pastor works with youth in a program that leads to their Confirmation in the Christian faith. We also offer a Teen Club in which youth engage in service projects, worship, and have fun together.
