Families

We believe faith formation begins at home.  It happens through conversation, the rituals and traditions of family and worship, developing a devotional life together and with the congregation, and serving others.  Below, you will find resources to support this calling as Parents, Grandparents, and members of the church.  Check back as the seasons change, for opportunities to grow together in your relationship with God.
 ​See faith practices and help with discussions about Covid -19, below.
