Children's Ministry

How Do We Reach Our Goal?

We build intentional relationships with children; serve as an example at home, church and the community; and intentionally teach them to love God, God's people and God's world through incremental steps taken from the day a child is born until they successfully launch as a young adult! 

Safety

All our teachers are wonderful witnesses to Christian faith. In preparing for teaching and to ensure the safest environment, all children's ministry staff and volunteers have completed thorough background checks and mandatory safer sanctuary training.

Grow

Sunday morning "children's time" during worship at 10 AM is followed by a one-room Sunday School class for preschool through fifth grade students. A professionally staffed nursery is also open on Sunday morning for infants and toddlers. 

Serve

Children are invited to serve and become an integral part of the faith community in many ways: as an acolyte, reading Scripture on the first Sunday of the month, serving through our Food Pantry, as a Greeter with their families. You will soon discover that at Community of Faith, we believe that children are as much a part of our present as they are our future. 

Have Fun

Throughout the year, the children's ministry offers a variety of opportunities for children to have fun with one another and build relationships with other children. Some examples from previous years -- Children's Christmas Pageant, Winter Carnival, Rise Against Hunger, Advent Night, Easter Egg Hunt, Summer Popsicles & Playground Gatherings.

Get Involved with Scouting!

COF sponsors scouting for all ages, including Cub Scouts for early elementary youth to Boy Scouts and several coed Venture Scouting groups.  We also sponsor a STEAM scout troop that focuses on supporting the next generation of scientists!   Throughout the week, a host of Girl Scout troops find a place to gather and learn at COF.

Scouting for Food

Scouting for Food is an annual event held in November that brings together hundreds of young scouts and their families with volunteers from the community, church and the Food Pantry to provide nonperishable food items to feed thousands of people.

Children's ministry takes many forms. Sunday morning children's moment and small group learning, family service events, the Christmas pageant, and outings throughout the year are just some of the opportunities to build a deep foundation of faith to last a lifetime.
