Children, Youth and Family Ministries

Through Christian education and formation, recreation and social activities, worship, and faith and action initiatives, we connect across generations, sharing life and faith in meaningful ways. Whether learning in Christian education or worship formation, Bible classes and studies throughout the week, serving with local, state and international partnerships, or simply enjoying time together to attend a concert, art exhibit, sporting event or board game night, you’ll find a place to belong, give of yourself and experience God’s love—at every age and every stage.”

Children who attend church in early childhood are more likely to remain engaged in their faith as adults. One key factor is intergenerational worship, an approach that values all ages worshiping together as a vital expression of the Body of Christ. We believe children learn faith not just be being taught, but by being included in seeing, hearing and participating alongside adults in ways that we Worship, Connect, Pray and Give. This shared experience fosters belonging, spiritual formation and a lasting connection to our faith community.

There are many ways to engage, grow and serve together as we gather “on the way” and live into God’s mission of love.

Tony’s Tots

The Oasis is a warm, welcoming space for our youngest disciples, accompanied littles from birth through their 4th birthdays. This quiet area is set apart for age-appropriate play and gentle spiritual nurture. The Oasis provides a safe and peaceful environment where tots can thrive while parents and adult caregivers participate fully in worship and community life.

The Nook in the Chapel of Saint Luke is a cozy, kid-friendly corner for accompanied children up to age 9 who need a little break from worship. Filled with cloth books and cuddly stuffies, it’s a gentle space where kids can settle in, feel safe and stay connected to our faith community in their own way.

Tony’s Tykes

Tony’s Tykes invites children ages three through 5th grade into a sacred space through the Godly Play approach. Rooted in the Montessori tradition, this program nurtures each child’s innate sense of God’s presence, encouraging questions, imagination and spiritual growth. Tony’s Tykes is more than Sunday school. It’s a place where children are seen, heard and loved as they explore the stories of our faith in community.

Tony’s Tweens

Tony’s Tweens is a fun and faith-filled space for 4th through 6th graders to explore their growing spiritual lives through conversation, connection and creativity. Our time together helps tweens build meaningful relationships, ask big questions and discover how their faith fits into everyday life all in a supportive, welcoming community designed just for them.

Tony’s Teens

Tony’s Teens is a community for 7th through 12th graders, where young people deepen their faith, build lasting friendships and engage with the world through the lens of Christ’s love. Through honest conversations, service opportunities and shared experiences, Tony’s Teens empowers youth to explore their identity, grow spiritually and make a difference together.
