We welcome children of all ages to our worship services and Christian formation classes and activities. At Manakin, church is a place where children can learn of God’s love and grace and what it means to fully participate in a loving, church family.

In Christian Formation, we strive to provide a safe and sacred place where learning and growing in God’s love may become a lifelong process. In classes, children:

  • Explore spiritual practices
  • Engage the stories of the Bible through creative storytelling and wonder about how these stories may be reflected in their own lives
  • Participate in monthly outreach programs so they might learn what it means to be God’s hands and feet in the world
