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.

Funerals
The death of a baptized Christian, one who has lived in the communion of the church, is an occasion for thanksgiving and the proclamation of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Every activity surrounding such a death and burial should point to the good news of the gospel.
