Children's Ministries
Our ministry to our children and youth is the one of the most important, if not the most important, goal we have at the Church of the Holy Nativity. Our Children Ministries exists to support the families of our church and community by providing a faith-filled, and loving environment as we meet on Sunday mornings and throughout the week.

The Church of the Holy Nativity will be using a new and exciting curriculum this year for our children's church school called, Life Together. Life Together is a new way to approach Sunday and the rest of the week. It is a way of encountering God's word together - everyday. Life Together integrates worship, preaching and faith formation or learning in order to build strong faith communities.
The lessons children are learning in Sunday school are reinforced by the pastor's sermon as well as by the hymns and songs of the worshiping assembly. Imagine the same links are made to daily life. Now, stop imaging because it's here!
With the Life Together curriculum, connections happen. Visit the official Life Together website for more information about our curriculum. www.augsburgfortress.org/lifetogether
Throughout the year there are numerous fun activities for our children that promote faith, community and service to others such as Vacation Bible Camp, carnivals, Children's Sabbath, Visits to Nursing Homes, Crop Walk for Hunger. Please watch this website or check our monthly newsletter for a list of these events. To obtain a copy of our newsletter please contact the office at office@churchoftheholynativity.org .
