Spirituality leads to resilience and to a balanced life. Making this process a normal part of children’s lives helps them find purpose and meaning in life. At First Congregational Church, we are committed to this process. The education of our children and youth is a sacred mission. We ground them in the certainty that they are God’s beloved children helping them form a solid sense of identity and place in the universe. Indoctrination, creeds or quick answers are avoided. Questions and diversity of viewpoints are encouraged.

We teach the universality of God’s love for humanity and all of God’s creation. The foundational stories of our faith, from both the old and new testaments of the Bible, contain timeless wisdom about how to relate to God and to each other. These stories teach lessons that make lives more fulfilling.

The wonderful diversity of families at our church brings a sensitivity and awareness to our programs, as we welcome all kinds of families.  Regardless of race, country of origin, language, gender identity, adopted, or fostered, we we are all one in the unconditional love of God.
