Children & Teens

Our Children’s Ministry Purpose Statement

Our children are as important as important gets. Consequently, we want to give our best to prepare them for, and engage them in, the spiritual journey:

  • Our children’s program introduces our children to the four practices at the heart of our community. We create opportunities for kids to explore and experience the communal, contemplative, learning and serving practices.
  • Our children’s team partners with our families to reinforce important values at home and to help equip our young people for the spiritual journey before them. Our hope for them is a lifetime of learning, growing, and listening to the indwelling Divine.

Nursery, Preschool, and Elementary Times
