Children's Christian Formation

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus says "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." Our education programs for children are designed to provide them with the foundations of the faith tradition and spiritual life.

For information or questions regarding our Children's formation, please contact us.

Nursery

Infants to 3 years

9:45am–11:30pm

Our goal is for parents of babies and toddlers to worship without worry. We also want your child’s first impression of the church to be a happy one. Our childcare workers are professional educators. They have had background checks and are Infant/Child CPR and First Aid Certified.

St. Francis offers nursery service throughout the morning each Sunday beginning at 9:15 am (9:45 am during the summer months.) It is located in the classroom beside the Red room, has an attached child-sized restroom, and is adjacent to the toddler playground.

We ask that you sign your child in on the "Sign In" sheet located next to the door so we have your emergency contact information.

Godly Play

During the 10:00 am Service.

This is a time for children to gather together and hear part of God’s story. Godly Play takes place in our classroom, across from our nursery. Children return to the sanctuary before Communion so your family can still share that Holy moment together.

The goal of Godly Play is to teach children the way of Christ, not only in the church but also in the world, which in turn will prepare them for Christian adulthood.
