Children’s Ministry

At Christ Church we believe that raising children with faith powerfully affects their well-being. We are deeply committed to our Children and Youth Ministries. We have designed programs appropriate for every age.

Families will find a place that is inviting and full of opportunities for faith development, outreach and celebration. Parents will find a friendly, engaged Christian community of people.

Celebrations include Blessing of the Animals, Advent Wreath Making, Gingerbread Church Decorating, Easter Egg hunts and more. Come spend a Sunday morning here.
