Christian Education
All ages are invited to participate in faith enrichment opportunities beyond the worship service. Our church is committed to promoting inclusion and equity based on the example of Jesus and lessons of the Bible. Our various CE classes and activities reflect this commitment.
A Commitment to Parents and Families
Our nursery is always open to babies and toddlers on Sunday mornings for the duration of the worship service. There, our youngest are free to engage in age-appropriate activities and explore friendship while under the watchful eyes of experienced and attentive childcare providers. Rest assured that children of any age are also welcome to remain in the service in the care of their parents/guardians.
Children are typically invited to the front of the Meeting House early in worship services to participate in a Children’s Message. Following this, ages 3 through 5th grade are invited to walk with our adult volunteers to the CE Building for a faith formation lesson and fun and fresh air on the playground (weather permitting).
Following worship, young people in grades 6-12 are invited to the CE Building for “Goodies, Games, & Open Questions.” This is an opportunity for youth to meet one another, enjoy snacks, and play games. Our pastor visits GGOQ frequently to engage the group in faith-oriented discussion. Every few months, they have an opportunity to join an off-campus field trip for fun, fellowship, and service.
After the worship service is a time for adults to focus on strengthening faith, friendships, and serving our community. All are invited to enjoy “Coffee, Tea, and Conversation” and then continue on to other activities. First and second Sundays are for Board and Committee meetings. Third and fourth Sundays are reserved for guest speakers. Most activities take place in the Christian Education Building. Join us!
