FAITH FORMATION
& FELLOWSHIP
CORE MINISTRY
The Purpose of the Faith Formation & Fellowship Core Ministry (FFFM) is to offer opportunities for all people in all stages of life to grow in their relationship with God and each other so that they may be transformed and live with Christ-like love and compassion.
With this is mind, we offer age appropriate Faith Formation opportunities on Sunday mornings during our 10:30 a.m. worship service and at other times during the week. Additionally, we encourage all ages to worship together on the first Sunday of every month which is the same Sunday we serve communion during the 10:30 a.m. service.
We also encourage families to engage in Faith Formation activities at home. In order to facilitate this we offer seasonal ideas and activities that equip families to engage in these practices and grow in their faith together.

to know
-
All of our Faith Formation leaders have had a background check.

All of our rooms have one adult leader.

Children begin the morning in with you in worship and leave for Faith Formation during our opening song. Children meet their leaders in the back of the sanctuary and are taken to their rooms.
-
Faith Formation is over close to when worship is over. Please pick your children up from their room, but kindly wait outside until your child’s leader dismisses them to avoid disruptions.

For the safety of all our children, if you would like to visit your child’s room please arrange this ahead of time.

If you have questions, comments, or concerns please contact Rev. Dr. Bruce Havens or the Chair of FFFM, Terry Rosenberry.
