Children’s Ministries at Redeemer are coordinated by the Rev. Anna C. Noon. Contact Anna.

Our mission is to provide a loving and nurturing Christian environment where every child can:

  • Grow in the knowledge that they are loved by our Creator, valued as a unique child of God, and an important member of the human family.
  • Discover the rich heritage of Scripture, tradition, and worship in engaging and meaningful ways.
  • Respond to God’s love by caring for their neighbors, their community, and God’s creation.

Schedule

Sunday School meets most Sundays during the school year (September through May) at 9:45 a.m. Children and youth begin the morning in age-based classes and rejoin the worshiping community after the Peace to participate in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

During the summer, children are invited to follow the cross after the reading of the Gospel for a children’s story and reflection before returning to the congregation for the remainder of the service.

Registration

Nursery: Infants through Age 3

Our nursery provides a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for infants and children through age 3 while parents and caregivers participate in worship. Caring nursery staff welcome our youngest children with age-appropriate play and attentive care, helping them experience the warmth of our church community from their earliest years.

The nursery is available each Sunday from 9:45 a.m. through the conclusion of the 10 a.m. worship service during the school year.

Pre-K to 2nd Grade

Our youngest learners gather each Sunday in their age cohorts for a joyful time of storytelling and hands-on discovery. Each class begins with prayer, explores the Bible story of the day, and closes with carefully chosen children’s books with complementary themes.

Through conversations, crafts, games, and other creative activities, children deepen their understanding of God’s love and consider simple, practical ways they can live out what they have learned throughout the coming week.

3rd and 4th Grade: Scripture and Storytelling: Sharing God’s Love and God’s Story

In this creative, collaborative class, students choose stories of Scripture and bring them to life for others. Through careful study of the selected stories, they work together to develop dramatic presentations, creating scripts, sets, props, and costumes that engage their audiences and deepen their own understanding of God’s story.

As they prepare to share these presentations with our younger Sunday School classes—and occasionally with the 10 a.m. worshiping community—students discover that storytelling is both a way to learn Scripture and a way to share God’s love. Through drama, art, and teamwork, they grow in confidence, creativity, and their ability to communicate the Good News with others.

5th and 6th Grade: Christian Heritage: Saints, Sacraments, and Seasons

In this student-led exploration of our Christian heritage, 5th and 6th grade youth investigate the history, traditions, and practices that shape our faith.

Together, they explore why we do what we do as Episcopalians, the liturgical seasons through which we live our faith, the sacraments that mark our journey with Christ, and the saints whose lives continue to inspire us. Along the way, students ask questions, conduct research, and deepen their understanding of our shared tradition.

Each unit culminates in a teaching video created by the students and published in the parish newsletter, giving them the opportunity to share what they have learned with the wider Redeemer community.
