Youth... the next generation

Advent offers a preschool program starting at age 3. Sunday School and Wednesday night activities. Confirmation for Middle School aged children and a Youth Group for the High School Youth.

Faith Stepping Stones
The Faith Stepping Stones program seeks to celebrate significant milestones in the faith journey of our children. Stepping Stones begin at baptism and end at high school graduation. Families attend classes together and will be lifted up in a special blessing during worship. We bless the child, gift the family and call parents to the promises of baptism.
