Families

We believe faith formation primarily happens at home.  It happens through conversation, the rituals and traditions of your home, developing a devotional life together and with the congregation, and serving others at home and in the community.  Below, you will find resources to support this calling as Parents and Grandparents.  Check back as the seasons change, for opportunities to grow together in your relationship with God.
