Children

 

The purpose of our Children's Ministry is to create an environment in which each one's Christ nature is acknowledged and supported through his or her journey of spiritual unfoldment.

We Believe:
 • The role of the teacher and the learner, adult and child, are woven together interchangeably in a gentle dance.
 • Children are full and complete spiritual beings who are to be loved, nurtured, and kept safe on their spiritual journey.
 • Children and adults have equal value and are to be equally respected.
 • Learning is a natural, joyful, internal process unfolding differently in every individual.
 •Teaching is a delicate balance that gives children the freedom to express within a structured environment.

Class Groups
Spirit of God
(Nursery: Newborn to 3 years)
We offer a safe, welcoming environment where little ones are loved and cared for by a consistent and trained staff.
Light of God (Preschool: 3, 4 and 5-year-olds);
Love of God (Kindergarten);
Power of God (1st & 2nd Grade); and
Presence of God (3rd & 4th Grade)
God Is (5th Grade)

Each lesson is based on a Truth principle that is explored through 'wonder' questions (open-ended) and active play (art, drama, creating, thinking, etc.). The classroom environment is structured to allow each child to express and explore what his or her understanding of the theme is and how it impacts him or her in their daily living.
