Over the past several years, our children's ministries have been growing as new families looking for a progressive spiritual home continue to find us. Too often, parents are forced to choose between belonging to a church that shares their progressive values, and one that has ministries for their children.

"Do we support a church that believes in social justice, gender equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion and belonging, and caring for our vulnerable neighbors, or one that does not, but has ministries for our children?" 

At Federated, you will find a small but growing church committed to supporting you and your children along your spiritual journeys, including an emphasis on social justice.

On Sunday mornings, you can expect to: 

   * start worship together in the sanctuary. (there are "Children's Bulletins," fidget toys, and music shakers available when you enter the sanctuary!)

   * Shortly into the service, children through age 10 will gather with our Children's Church team where they will go off to our Chapel and engage in a Montessori-styled service of storytelling, conversation, and creative exploration through various crafts and activities.

   * In some seasons, like Advent and Lent, the children will return during the service as the whole congregation is invited into an interactive time of "Prayer Stations."

At Federated, we find joy in creating both separate and developmentally appropriate spaces for children and adults, as well as coming together for intergenerational experiences.

We are excited to be in the process of starting a teen youth ministry. If you have a teen looking for a youth group, we can't wait to offer this space!

Our goal, "from womb to tomb," is to form people in the Way of Jesus. As we experience God's Love claiming us in all of our fullness--including our rough edges--we seek to find ways to share that love with others.
