Faith Formation Coordinator: Carole Clyde-Ellis
Nurturing the Faith Formation of Children and Youth is one of our core values and priorities at Knox. We believe that the faith journey can begin at the earliest of ages. Through Biblically based lessons, the role modeling of teachers, as well as fun, inclusive and creative classes, we hope to instill a vital and growing faith in Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN ARE THE CHURCH OF TODAY AS WELL AS THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE.
They are at the heart of our community. Children and youth are integral in all aspects of worship and life at Knox Waterloo. We have an active Church School program that spans from nursery level to the end of high school and we host a well-attended Vacation Bible Camp every summer.
Our Junior High and Senior High ministries provide opportunities for fellowship, mission trips, camp leadership and service projects.
Sunday School (K-Gr. 6)
Meets during worship on Sundays
Children are invited to join their family in the sanctuary for the beginning of worship (about 15 minutes). After the intergenerational story time (Fun with the Young at Heart) the children will follow their Sunday school teacher out to participate in Sunday school for the rest of the service.
We use the Feasting on the Word curriculum for Sunday school. It is a lectionary-based curriculum that follows the same theme and stories that are explored in the worship services.
