We have a vibrant, extremely active Faith Formation program for all members of our Spirit filled congregation! From birth to high school graduation, our young people are supported by a dedicated team of volunteers committed to helping them build confidence, make new friends, and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Throughout the year at 9:00am on Sundays there's a faith formation experience to be had at Messiah for all ages, and at a bunch of other times throughout the week as well!
Our Cradle Roll assists families of infants and toddlers by providing various age-appropriate Christian education resources for use in the home through a program called Frolic and brief, related lessons during nursery.
Children's Sunday School is generally for kids in preschool through sixth grade at Messiah! Meeting most Sundays during program year at 9:00am, kids sing songs, meditate, play fun games and continue learning the stories and values of the Christian faith using a lectionary based curriculum called Whirl.
Once our young people reach roughly seventh grade, they begin to transition into our Youth program. We host at least one youth event each and every single month from fun activities to opportunities for service and more.
Adult Education is so important at Messiah, as we deeply believe faith formation should take place throughout our life. Classes currently meet on Sunday mornings at 8:45am during the program year and our led by Dr. Merle Longwood, Professor of Religion Emeritus of Siena College. Additionally adult faith formation opportunities include Bible Study with Pastor Dustin and community forums on various topics of social concern throughout the year!
Our Faith Formation Ministry Team meets quarterly, generally on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm (February, May, August and November) in the Messiah Fellowship Hall.
