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.

Children’s Chapel
Ages Three to Fifth Grade
Children may attend chapel during Sunday service. They gather at the front of the sanctuary before processing to the Children’s Chapel room for child-centered Christian education until 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.

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.
