Will you be
responsible for seeing that the child you present is brought up in the
Christian faith and life?

Baptismal vows taken by parents in the Book of
Common Prayer, p. 302
We take on a great role when we raise children.
We take on an even greater responsibility
when we vow to raise a child with faith.
While the most crucial work is done by those
who love and care for them at home, nurturing and grounding children in
the Christian life takes a church community.
Christ Church is here to help. Our Sunday
school program is a touchstone of Christian education and community for
the life of our children.
Classes

Curriculum
Most grades, especially the youngest, make use of our
Godly Play resources for
teaching. Godly Play uses simply story telling to invite children to
wonder about themselves, God, and the world in a way that is playful and
meaningful to them.
Grades K-6 use
the
Episcopal Children's Curriculum
a Biblically-based and liturgically-oriented resource that grounds
children in the basics of our faith.
Teachers
To teach is to learn.
We welcome those who sense a call by the Holy Spirit to deepen their own
faith and join our Sunday school teaching ministry. We do require
screening and training for teachers as well as participation in regular
teacher gatherings. Contact Pattie Raynor, Family Ministry Coordinator (click

Rector for Faith Formation and Evangelism (click
