CHILDREN FORMATION
What is Children's Formation?
Children’s formation has long been a hallmark of Redeemer, and we love seeing our children continue to grow in numbers, and more importantly, in faith. In addition to weekly Sunday School, we provide offerings throughout the year. Sparkhouse curriculum provides the opportunity to explore Bible Stories with each age group, using “Frolic”, “Whirl”, and “Spark: Activate Faith” lessons. We offer the following classes for children:
PreK (3y-5y)
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade
3rd - 5th Grade

Acolytes & Lay Readers
Starting with Fifth Grade
Children from 5th-12th grades can become acolytes and lay readers during Sunday Eucharist Services. Please email Steve Schmidt or Dan Walker for more information!
Children’s Chapel
Ages Three to Fifth Grade
Children are invited to attend chapel during our Sunday service. They will be gathered together at the front of the sanctuary before processing to Pinder Hall for child-oriented worship and activities. They will be brought back to their families during the Peace, just before Holy Communion. Adult volunteers welcome!
Worship Bags
Worship Bags with crayons and other activities are available for children if they wish to stay with their parents during the service.
Nursery | 8:30 AM - 12 PM
Our warm, welcoming nursery is located in our Education Wing and is staffed by paid, Safe-Church Trained adults and is designed to give parents time for their own spiritual nourishment. Children of all ages are always welcome in our worship services -from nursing babies to wiggly toddlers. Please email Kristen Wheeler, our head nursery attendant, for more information about our nursery ministry!
