Children at Epiclesis

A little bit about what we believe…

Children are a vital part of who we are as a faith community. At Epiclesis, we welcome the active participation of children and youth of all ages in our intergenerational worship services. We believe that kids and adults have much to learn from each other. Just as Jesus welcomed children, we love having kids meaningfully involved with families in worship as we all grow together.

      • We believe that families should worship together so that children will learn they are an important part of something much bigger.

      • We believe that integrating all ages in worship is essential to the healthy spiritual development of the entire worshiping community.

      • We want children to grow up learning to tell God’s Story with others.

      • We believe that telling God’s Story resonates with all age groups.

      • We want children to know and understand the importance of the holy sacraments (i.e. baptism, Table).

      • We want our children and adults to interact with one another in love and grace.

    We recognize that we have much to learn from our children and that we are not whole without them.
