FAITH FORMATION@ REDEEMER

The Faith Formation Ministries at Church of the Redeemer UCC

affirm that the home is the primary location for faith formation,

and also that it is not limited to children and youth.

Faith is formed through a lifetime of experiences and practices.

The focus is not on information but rather transformation.

We recognize that we are partners with individuals

as they seek to grow in faith and discipleship

and we offer a balanced program of worship, learning, service and

fellowship in which multi-generations can participate together

as well as in their own age groupings.

 

FOR CHILDREN—

Church of the Redeemer invites children into a community

where they can experience being loved  and can be offered ways and

places to encounter God and grow in their faith.

Age specific Sunday Morning Faith Formation Program:

  • Children’s bulletins during worship
  • Childcare with a professional caregiver
  • Opportunities for mission
  • Annual Almost Sleepover
  • Summer Faith Community
  • An Especially for Children Christmas Eve Service

 

FOR YOUTH—

Youth are often called the future of the church, but Church of the

Redeemer recognizes that our youth are the church of today.And we

have much to learn from accompanying them on their journey to

adulthood.They bring their energy and life as well as their questions

and passion to all that they do.They want to be respected and included

with the adults,but they still need time and space they can call their

own.

Youth themes for their Sunday Morning Faith Formation Program:

  • Opportunities to serve as acolytes, lay readers, and ushers
  • Confirmation Program
  • Opportunities for mission


FOR ADULTS—

Church of the Redeemer recognizes that learning and spiritual growth

is a life long endeavor. While everything we do in the church is the

“curriculum” from which we learn and grow, we also seek to provide

formational opportunities for adults seeking more focused

experiences.

These faith-full experiences are offered to meet the needs

of different personality types and learning styles as well as varied

schedules and interests and include:

  • Monthly Prayer Group
  • Men’s Spirituality Group
  • Weekly Bible Study Group
  • Lenten Study Group
  • Individual devotional helps
  • Prayer Stations
