Laughter, curiosity, and holy wonder — that’s the sound of Sunday mornings at Holy Covenant United Church of Christ.

Our Children’s Christian Education ministry helps young hearts discover faith through creativity, compassion, and community.

We believe that children are not just the future of the Church — they are its joyful present, vital members of the Body of Christ whose voices, energy, and questions reveal God’s love anew each week.

What We Believe About Children’s Faith Formation

• Every child is beloved by God, just as they are.
• Questions are welcome — doubt is part of faith.
• Faith grows through experience, community, and reflection.
• Justice, kindness, and compassion are central to Christian life.

Children’s Church School (Pre-K – 5th Grade)

Each Sunday, following Stories for All People, children are invited to Church School, where trained and background-checked volunteers lead interactive, age-appropriate lessons using the progressive curriculum A Joyful Path alongside UCC resources. Lessons include:

• Bible storytelling through art, drama, and music
• Hands-on activities that teach compassion and empathy
• Faith discussions that connect to kids’ real lives
• Celebration of liturgical seasons like Advent, Lent, and Easter
• Projects focused on kindness, stewardship, and inclusion

All-Ages Worship Sundays

On special Sundays such as Palm Sunday and throughout the summer, children remain in the sanctuary for intergenerational worship. These services feature music, visuals, and messages that engage every age, reminding us that faith flourishes best when generations learn together.

Nursery Care

Our cozy, fully furnished nursery provides a peaceful space for infants and toddlers. Ushers or the Christian Education Team will gladly help arrange a loving volunteer so parents can worship with peace of mind.

Faith in Action: Beyond the Classroom

Faith formation doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Our children live out their faith through service projects, family nights, outdoor play, and justice-focused activities that teach them to love boldly and act compassionately.
