We all worship together as a community

We hold Multi-Generational Worship.

After the Children's Message, kids return to their families to worship with them, or they are welcome to the Kids' Space (next to the ramp) where they can relax on the carpet and choose a meditative activity during worship.

FAITH FORMATION HOUR
Sunday School (9:45-10:45 AM)
Children at FCUCC engage with stories from the Bible and other spiritual traditions through storytelling, wondering, and creative responses. This approach helps them develop their own understanding of faith and spirituality.
 
Children are divided by age and grade level into classes:
Godly Play (Ages 3-6)- Godly Play is a program designed to help teach children the language of the Christian faith, wile making meaning through story, wonder, and play. This program nurtures spiritual lives by honoring the centrality, competency, and capacity of children.
A Joyful Path (1st Grade-5th Grade)- A Joyful Path is a truly progressive curriculum that is nature centered, joy-full, compassionate, and intelligent. This behavior over belief curriculum is non-dogmatic, inter-spiritual, and heart centered.
THIRD GRADE BIBLE WORKSHOP

A fun, 10-week session offered during the Faith Formation Hour, every other year, to 3rd Grade students to increase understanding and appreciation of the Bible. The course concludes with a Sunday Bible presentation including a name ritual during a service.
