Next Generation Ministries

Children, Youth, and Intergenerational Ministries at Faith UMC

The people of Faith UMC strive to include children and youth in all aspects of church life.  As a small congregation, we offer regular age-level faith formation opportunities and intergenerational faith formation and service opportunities. Faith UMC is a place that seeks to welcome all and encourages young people to discover their own beliefs and practice their faith all week long.  You belong here. 

We take the physical, emotional, and spiritual safety of children, youth, and vulnerable adults seriously.  For more information, read our Safe Sanctuaries Policy.

Vacation Bible School

Each summer, an evening or weekend VBS is offered to Faith kids, the community, and people of all ages that emphasizes God’s love for all people. Faith VBS is not one where Jesus will die on Thursday or kids will be compelled to respond to an alter call. Children are taught age-appropriate Bible stories to help them learn about the Christian faith and how to live as followers of Jesus today.  

Intergenerational & Family Ministries

Faith Family Night is a monthly opportunity for people of all ages to share a meal, pray, play, and study God’s word together.  See the calendar for our next gathering.

Weekly worship with options for 2nd graders and older to serve as acolytes (contact Jme), children and youth to share special music (contact Chris), and people of all ages to serve as liturgists, greeters, and ushers (contact Pastor Susan).  

Seasonal, short-term, and one-time opportunities like Christmas cookie decorating during Hanging of the Greens, church workdays, and campfire nights.
