Introduction

This ministry exists to support the families of our community in raising Christ-like Orthodox children. The Children’s ministry strives to provide programs and activities that will allow our children to grow closer to God as well as to understand their faith and the Sacraments of the Church through exploration of the Gospel, the lives of the Saints and the Liturgical Calendar.
