Children's Programs

Our parish has made Children's Ministries a high priority. Our hope is that children will find St. Mary's a welcoming and safe place where they are affirmed in who God created them to be and grow spiritually with the gentle guidance of our hand-selected teachers, worship leaders, and catechists. We have space dedicated just for children and their spiritual development, handmade materials, and on-going training of teachers.

Our mission is to create a setting where each child may encounter the eternal truths of God's kingdom and the unfathomable love of Christ. Our Christian education program is founded upon the belief that Christ calls children as Jesus' disciples to a life-long journey of growth and transformation. Our ministry to children intends to begin that journey in a safe, creative and expressive environment where the mystery of God is experienced through the wonderful truths of scripture, the encounter with Biblical stories, and personal creative and artistic expression.

CHILDREN'S CHAPEL

After the Gospel Lesson during the Sunday eucharist at 11:00 a.m., the children are invited to Children's Chapel in the portable units.  They return to the service in time for the Passing of the Peace.
