Christian Education

In a community of Quakers, Christian Education can sometimes feel different than what you may find in other settings. Our education is not grounded in memorizing dogmas, nor in getting everybody to believe the exact same thing. We hold that Christ is our Inward Teacher, and that in community, our Friends can help us learn new ideas and higher ways of life that the Inward Teacher is revealing in the midst of us. We invite you and your family to join with us, and explore God’s inspiration for today. We provide multiple opportunities for people of all ages to expand their own spirituality.


Children's Ministries

10:15 AM Children's Worship Children in Preschool through 5th grade are excused after the Children’s Message in Meeting for Worship.  Most Sundays they are divided into Pre-School/early elementary and middle school groups.  Each group will engage in worship and participate in an interactive Bible story with beautiful and appropriate props to create a participatory and full of life experience. A craft, game, or activity will accompany the theme of the Bible story each week.
