Family Faith Gatherings give families, parents/ grandparents and children, an opportunity to explore their faith together. Families meet monthly from 4 to 6:15 pm on Sunday afternoon.

In 2017, we transitioned from the Sunday School/Confirmation class model to intergenerational family based faith formation. Family Faith Gatherings are intentionally focused time for families to share their faith and values. We changed how we do children’s and youth ministry to better meet the needs of families today.
Through two group visioning sessions and one-on-one conversations with parents, we learned our families experience these pressures:
Our families are seeking:
Here’s what our parents are saying
My kids aren’t really talkers, so it was especially meaningful to grow closer to them by sharing our thoughts.
The family faith time, my favorite part, poses questions in a context that we can easily discuss faith.
Made us set aside time without electronics to talk and be together. It’s meaningful because between work and activity schedules, it’s hard to find that time.
I looked forward to the activities and family time together; it was priceless.
It’s meaningful to see our kids make connections with other families, kids, and adults in the church.
It helps us get on the same foundation for parenting as a couple before we face the hard questions.
