Kids & Youth

Each of us is a beloved child of God. We are the hands, the feet, the face of God to one another.

 

What we teach our children in church about their place in the world and their relationship with others can leave a profound impression. At Peace, our education program for children enhances the worship experience by teaching them what we believe: in short, that each of us is a beloved child of God and that we are the hands, the feet, and the face of God to one another.

Through participation in worship, Bible study and youth activities, children and youth at Peace come to understand that their place in the world is to give and receive God’s love and grace.

It is an integral part of our mission that young people at Peace interact with all of our members in worship and service.

Kids Sunday Lesson (Peace Downtown, Sunday mornings, 10:30 am)

Children of all ages are invited to participate in our kids Sunday lesson. During this time, children are given a space to learn, reflect on, and discuss the same scripture as their parents and caregivers in worship, but in a child-focused way. Our compassionate and wise Peace teachers will teach children about faith and scripture. They’ll have opportunities to reflect and respond to the lesson in their time together during worship.

Children’s Offering (Peace Downtown, Sunday mornings, 10:30 am)

Every season, our children will choose an organization or a cause that is important to them. They are invited to bring in coins for their offering to teach them that every individual, no matter their age, can work for a better tomorrow.

We are in the process of choosing our Advent offering. Please check back for updates!

Children’s Mission Activities

We organize a Monthly Mission Activity that is child-focused! We aim to involve kids and their families in the social and environmental justice work that is so integral to our community. We are always taking suggestions for activities friendly for all ages.

During December, we are making cards and coloring packets for children of migrant farmworkers through Migrant Farmworkers Assistance Fund.
