Sunday School
We LOVE kids at Gloria Dei! Our Sunday School program is a joyful, welcoming space where children can grow in faith, build friendships, and explore God’s love in ways that are engaging and age-appropriate. Held between our two Sunday services during the school year, Sunday School invites kids to wonder, ask questions, and learn the stories of our faith in a supportive and caring environment.
We believe children are a vital part of our community—wiggles, giggles, questions, and all—and we’re committed to nurturing a place where they feel truly at home. All are welcome! You are invited to check it out!
Children in Worship
Children of all ages are welcome in Worship. Here are some idea’s to help parents with children at church:
- Sing the hymns and songs, pray and voice the responses. Children learn behavior by mimicking you.
- If you have to leave the worship space with your child, feel free to do so, but please come back. As Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”
- Worship activity bags are available and are located across from the restrooms. Children are invited to “build” their own bag with items of their choice to support their worship experience.
- At the time of this writing nursery care is not yet available post-covid. Infants and young children are most certainly welcome in worship. Noises and all.
- The entrance to the main sanctuary has a nursery cart offering some extra wiggle room for children when needed.

Volunteer with Children and Youth Activities
Part of the baptismal promises we make as individuals and as a congregation are to teach our children and youth about the word of God. There are many ways to help with these promises and help is always needed. Be part of the growing number of volunteers helping with this vibrant ministry with children, youth, and families. It feels so good to help. Not only do you bless others, but you get blessed in return. Help with a one-time event, for a few weeks, behind the scenes, or for the year! There’s an option that fits your schedule, and activities that will bring you joy.
