WEST PARISH CHURCH 

 United Church of Christ 

KIDS AND FAMILIES

WELCOME

At West Parish Church, we believe Christian Education is a lifelong process. It is a personal and a communal experience of developing and living our faith. When education is infused with the transforming love of God, the reconciling message of Jesus, and the faithful presence of the Holy Spirit, it becomes a vehicle to change lives and to make a difference in the world.

 

All families are welcome - whether reluctant, shy, boisterous, squirmy, or skeptical.  We welcome each person with open arms, as Jesus did. We seek to nurture spiritual life by passing on the sacred stories and faith practices of our Christian heritage, laying a foundation for a life-long journey of faith.

 

 Sunday School is at 10:00 am on Sundays!

NURSERY 

Infants and toddlers are always welcomed in our worship services! If you prefer - nursery care is also available in a clean, colorful room. The nursery is staffed by trained, caring, responsible teenagers and adults. 

KIDS

SUNDAY SCHOOL 

Wonder, learn, create, and play! Children attend the worship service with their caregiver for the first 10 minutes until Sunday School teachers bring them to class.  Kids from four years through middle school gather together for a “one room school house“ with our Sunday School Teacher, Emelie, and a parent assistant.  Our wonderful multi-age curriculum encourages interaction, and older children are invited to help guide the younger ones.

YOUNG ADULTS

CONFIRMATION 

Beginning in the eight grade, confirmation is available as a year-long class with the minister. Youth explore Christianity throughout the year, and have the option to join the church as full members if they feel called.

 

Confirmation happens every other year. The next confirmation class will be in Fall 2024.
