Child & Youth Formation

Nursery 

In support of families attending worship, our nursery is a safe nurturing environment where our youngest children (age 3 and under) can explore and learn, with a certified caring child care provider with over 10 years experience in early childhood education ensuring they are well provided for. While all children, even the youngest, are welcome to attend our services, the nursery is available to provide an option for parents who prefer not to have their youngest ones sit through an entire service. Children in the nursery can be "reclaimed" to be part of the communion, if desired.

Children's Formation for Children Pre-K to 5th Grade (Sunday School)

We have an exciting new curriculum for the children this Fall. We are studying the Beatitudes Curriculum from Illustrated Ministry.

Safeguarding God’s Children

Keeping our children safe is of the utmost importance to St. Matthias and the Episcopal Church. Anyone involved in ministry with children or youth, as well as all clergy and wardens, is required to go through the Episcopal Church’s “Safeguarding God’s Children” training course. This must be renewed every four years. (If you’d like to learn more about this, please contact Rev. Laura.)
