Youth and Adult Faith Formation Groups
Nursery – Our Nursery is adjacent to the Welcome Centre and the Sanctuary. It is staffed by volunteers at times, but can be accessed and used by parents or guardians as needed.
Nursery Registration forms are available upon request through any of our staff/volunteers and will ask you for information to assist us in caring for your little one(s), including where as parents you usually sit in the sanctuary on a Sunday morning so that we can find you if necessary. Cell phone text option is also available. The church service is broadcast on a large screen. The nursery is supplied with a safety-approved change table, play pen, rockers, high chair, small table and chairs and toys to suit various ages and interests. All are regularly put through hygienic cleansing. Above all, know that we welcome babies and toddlers among us – whether they are cradled in your arms in the sanctuary or in the nursery.
Sunday School – Ruth Judd supports our program for elementary school age children each Sunday. She works with a number of volunteers who lead the children to their space downstairs beside the elevator following the Forming Young Faith portion of the Worship Service.
Youth Program – Occasional events are made available for Secondary School age youth.
TGIF – Many Friday evenings through the year celebrate young people with their extended family. Lots of food and fun and faith building.
