Children's Ministry

Children and Families

We consider ministry to children and their families to be an essential part of our overall mission. We offer many opportunities for children to grow and learn in their faith as well as offer support and guidance for parents and other caregivers as they nurture the faith of their children.

Faith at Home Resources

Parents have the most influence over their children’s faith formation. RPC offers support to parents in a variety of ways including regular mailings of simple faith resources that engage their children in different parts of the liturgical year. Regular emails are sent to keep parents informed about church programing as well as to offer other resources for faith formation.
