Children's Ministry

We welcome our potty-trained 3-year-olds through 5th graders to join us for Sunday School each week during the school year at 10 a.m. In Sunday School, your child will have the opportunity to dive deep into the Word of God, ask questions about their Faith walks, fall in love with the person of Jesus, and spend time with their friends in a safe and loving environment.
 
For more information, contact Kaitlyn Nott.

Guild of the Christ Child

The Guild of the Christ Child exists to celebrate and support families as they welcome new children into our parish community. Representing the love and care of the congregation, guild members walk alongside expectant and new parents, offering encouragement, practical support, and assistance as needs arise before and after a child's birth. The guild also helps families become connected to opportunities for baptism and Christian formation as they begin their child's faith journey. Our prayer is that every family feels welcomed, supported, and deeply loved through the ministry and care of the Guild of the Christ Child.
 
If you are a new mom seeking information regarding baptism and children’s formation classes, please contact our Children’s Ministry Director, Kaitlyn Nott.

If you are interested in being a part of this ministry and serving alongside our team, please contact Mary Ann Galbraith.
