CRADLE ROLL

Our Cradle Roll program, chaired by Allison Bode, supports young families in supporting faith formation in the home and to provide a nurturing learning environment in our nursery for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

In essence, religion is simply a "language for the things that matter most." Just like with any other type of language, contemporary psychology shows us that the first three years of life are a CRITICAL period for the faith formation of our young people. There are so many faces, sights, sounds and more for a little one to experience, all things that build a strong foundation for a life of faith.

We support young families at home through free monthly mailings of Frolic, an innovative program from Sparkhouse, that also coincides with many of the books and other resources in our nursery. We also provide regular group baptism classes and other courses for young families as well.
