Welcome to Faith Formation for Children
(Formerly SRE)
All parents desire the best for their children. What greater gift can we give our family than the gift of a relationship with Jesus that leads us to a better life filled with more peace, understanding, forgiveness and love. Children are faced with challenges as they grow and move away from the sheltered world of the family. Always, God is there for us. This is why Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, the One who draws children to Himself. Getting to know and to form a lasting relationship with this loving God is the goal of our Faith Formation classes.
Faith Formation Volunteers
We are always looking for both adult and teen volunteers to help with Faith Formation and Confirmation programs. Volunteers are needed as teachers, aides, and office support. You don’t have to have a child in our program to volunteer. We do ask that you have a willingness to share your faith and an openness to where God may challenge you while you serve in His vineyard. Please prayerfully consider whether this ministry is right for you. Safe Environment training and a background check is required. To become a volunteer, please email: [email protected].

Our program allows children to grow in their faith by learning in a classroom setting with teachers that are dedicated to guiding and nurturing their faith.
Surround your children with a faith community that encourages deepening of ones faith. Children’s brains are like sponges, absorbing everything going on around them. Every little thing they soak in builds connections in their brain. It is important that we give our children the opportunity to grow their faith with their peers.
Fun Off-Campus Retreat with Family.
First Communion Day
Such a special grace given to the children after 2 years of preparing and waiting to receive Jesus.
