Faith Stepping Stones - Children and Young Adults
At Christ Church we believe that the development of faith is a life-long journey beginning at Baptism. At baptism, through word and spirit, a child is blessed and becomes a member of God’s family and kingdom. At this time the parents, family, and congregation make a pledge to help the child grow in their faith to understand the teachings of Christ.
As the child grows, the church helps equip them and their families in this process. Through their early years there are a series of classes to help families pass the faith on to their children. Each class is another step along the journey. We refer to this ministry as Faith Stepping Stones.
Here is a list of the Faith Stepping Stones we offer at Christ Church:
