Christian Faith Development

Growing in faith at Atonement is focused on building a Christian Learning Community — helping people of ALL ages grow in discipleship, which includes knowing, believing, and practicing the word of God and stretching ourselves in faith.

  
"Let the wise listen and add to their learning
and let the discerning get guidance" Proverbs 1:5

 

Children's Church
After the Children's Sermon portion of the Sunday worship service, primary grade children are invited to a separate service to hear the lessons of the day. They return to their parents in time to participate in communion.

Each Sunday morning, three separate tracks offer specific units for 5 or 6 weeks that are designed to challenge us to put our faith into action. Choose your topic weekly. The tracks are offered concurrently and fall into the categories of: Bible & Theology, Life Issues, and Worldly Issues. CURRENT SERIES SCHEDULE
[Young children, youth, and adults come together throughout the year for a stimulating cross-generational activity.]

youth Confirmation
With parents and pastors working together, students grow in their Christian faith as they learn about Lutheran theology using relevant and interesting resources. The program includes retreats, service projects, and a year of one-on-one mentoring with an adult member of the congregation. Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Grades 6 - 8.

children's Sunday School
Our Spark Sunday school curriculum is lectionary based. This means students learn a story taken from the Sunday readings offered during worship. The children also focus on a particular mission project each year. This year they will collect offerings to support the ELCA Malaria Campaign. Grades pre-K through 5.

Younger children, and their parents, learn about the week's lesson through singing, dancing, listening, improvising, and prayer. Parents and children ages birth - pre-K
