Faith Formation
You’re never too old or too young to grow in your faith. Faith Formation opportunities are available for all ages, including activities and classes for both children (ages 3 and up) and adults. These are typically held at Faith after the morning service but are currently being hosted through Zoom and pre-recorded digital content.
Youth Groups
Ignite is a middle school program providing weekly faith education and monthly social activities. Our focus is on building community among our students and helping them understand and explore the foundations of the Christian faith. Each summer these students participate in TC SERVE, a weekend of service supporting our community and local ministries.
Endeavor is our ministry to high school students as they continue to explore their faith by talking through cultural issues and personal experiences as they relate to the Christian faith. Weekly connections are a mix of conversation and recreation. Students have the opportunity to travel each summer for a week long SERVE experience of connection, worship and service with churches from across the U.S. and Canada.
GEMS is an acronym for Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior. The GEMS vision is to see girls around the world actively and enthusiastically expressing love for God and others—girls equipped, motivated, and passionately engaged in living out their faith. Their mission is to bring girls everywhere into a living, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ. The Faith CRC GEMS club welcomes girls in the 2nd through 8th grade and meets the first and third Wednesday of the month, September through May.
We seek to provide our children with the support of strong role models as they grow and mature. Cadets is a program for boys in 2nd-8th grade. Each group of boys is led by men who guide the boys in completing badges, learning life skills, and growing in faith. Cadets meets the first and third Wednesday of the month, September through May.
Small Groups
You don’t need to face life alone. Small groups allow you to share in community with others who walk with you through life’s ups and downs. Faith is home to a diverse collection of small groups who have formed based on geography, demographics, or mutual interests. Each group has a unique personality, and we'd love to connect you to one of these communities.
Seasoned Citizens
Growing in our faith is something we’re never finished with. Seasoned Citizens is a Bible study for those who are older in years but still serious about growing in their faith. Bible study and fellowship with others deepens our relationship with God and with others. You’re never too old to learn and grow.
Ladies Bible Study
Prayer, scripture, conversations, and life experience come together to deepen relationships with God and with others. Ladies Bible Study meet every other Saturday, and these women often find themselves both laughing and crying together. They support each other as they grow in faith together.
Book Club
Book club is a group of readers who gather monthly to explore God's amazing gift of story. Each month brings a new work to discuss. A variety of works are studied, including classics, contemporary novels, children's books, non-fiction selections, and plays. Everyone is welcome, whether you participate regularly each month or join for just one meeting. Meetings usually take place on the second Monday of the month.
Wednesday Night Suppers
There’s something about sharing a meal with someone that deepens your connection with them, whether you’ve known that person for years or have just met for the first time. On Wednesday nights throughout the school year, food is made with love and all are invited to come and connect with others over a meal.
