“We aim to invest in the spiritual formation of our children, hoping that they will grow in community with each other, and in even deeper love with God.”
At Epiphany, we believe that children and teenagers belong in the life of the church—not someday, but now. Our Children, Youth & Families ministry offers formation, fellowship, and fun for every age and stage, from the tiniest worshippers to our high schoolers.
SUNDAY MORNINGS · SEPTEMBER–MAY
Sundays, 10:00 – 11:00 am · LOCATION TBD
Children are invited to weekly Faith Formation on Sunday mornings, where they’ll find a place to call their own within the life of Epiphany. Together they’ll make and do, play and share — all within the rhythm of learning the truths and traditions of our faith.
Our youngest children are welcomed into a warm, wonder-filled space of their own. Seekers begin their journey through the liturgical year by discovering their place of belonging at Epiphany. This autumn we’ll explore the stories of St. Clare and St. Francis as we prepare for the Blessing of the Animals, then turn together toward Advent and the Gift of Christmas. Faith Formation continues through winter and spring.
Children in this group dig deeper—into Scripture, into questions, into the traditions of our faith. Explorers engage the Bible through conversation, creativity, and hands-on discovery, building a foundation that grows with them.
Our teenagers are invited into honest, substantive conversation about faith and life. Wayfinders chart their own course through Scripture and tradition, asking hard questions and finding their footing as young people of faith within this community.
On the first Sunday of each month, children and their families are invited to join the congregation for brunch during the Faith Formation hour.
YOUTH · FIRST SUNDAYS, SEPTEMBER–JUNE
5:30 – 7:00 pm · Christie House Library
Once a month, our youth gather on Sunday evenings for something a little different—from service projects to cooking challenges to honest conversations about faith and life. Youth Group is the heartbeat of our youth community at Epiphany, and all middle and high schoolers (6th-12th grade) are warmly welcome.
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
On the first Sunday of each month, families are invited to gather in the Great Hall for brunch before the service. A simple, low-key way to connect with other families in the parish.
Sundays, 10:00 – 11:00 am, September–June.
Throughout the year we host Family Nights for parish families to enjoy time together—think movie nights, park gatherings, and seasonal fun. These evenings are designed for the whole family to participate together. Bring snacks to share!
Every parent wants their child to thrive—emotionally, physically, mentally. But what does it look like to tend to their spiritual lives with the same intentionality? This year’s Family Series takes that question seriously.
Drawing on Meredith Miller’s Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t Have to Heal From, we’ll spend three sessions together exploring what it means to raise children in a faith that holds them—honestly, tenderly, and well. And if your own faith feels uncertain or unfinished right now, you’re still welcome here. Miller’s work speaks directly to parents who are holding their own questions while trying to pass something good on to their kids. These evenings are for anyone who wants to think carefully about the kind of spiritual formation they’re weaving for their family—wherever they are in their own journey.
This year’s Family Series includes:
MUSIC · WEEKLY, SEPTEMBER–SPRING
Wednesdays, 4:45 – 6:00 pm
Children who love to sing are invited to join our Choristers program, led by our music staff. Choristers rehearse weekly and participate in worship throughout the program year.
