Here at St. Bart's, we want children to know from day one that they are known and loved, that they matter. We also believe that children have a natural sense of spirituality and that faith is caught more than taught. We engage our kids in the stories, teachings, and love of Jesus to help grow the faith that is already within them. Children and families of all faith backgrounds or none are welcome in our inclusive community!
Arts, Stories and Games for K-5
During the 11 am Eucharist
For Kids, Youth, and Families
Rehearsal in the Chapel
A free musical education that teaches lifelong skills and values such as self-confidence, leadership, teamwork, dedication, and spirituality—all through singing at the Sunday 11 am service.
A fun, playful introduction to music where kids sing songs, play games, explore instruments, and create art, all while developing an appreciation for sacred music.
Kids' Club is our children's program for grades K - 5. Our gatherings are designed to bring the stories of the Bible to life in ways that are meaningful, healthy, and fun using seasonal magazines, playbooks, and vibrant visuals designed to open kids' imaginations to the wonder of God' love. Kids' Club runs concurrent with Youth at the Center for grades 6-12 and The Forum for adults.
The 11 am service includes a 25-30 minute Wonder Church program designed for kids in grades K-5 during the sermon and prayers. During the second hymn, the children are led into the chapel for an immersive and engaging time of singing, a lesson and prayers. During the announcements, all children return to the church to receive communion with their families. While designed with elementary-aged children in mind, toddlers, teens, and parents are all welcome to take part!
All children, youth, and their families are invited to a complimentary community lunch on most Sundays. This is a time to enjoy food and fellowship together between the 11am service and the Choristers rehearsal at 1 pm. However, you don't have to be involved with Choristers to attend.
In baptism, we celebrate God's unconditional love, present from the beginning. Parents and godparents commit to raising the child in the way of Christ, and the whole community pledges its support.
