Children

Here at Resurrection we have a TON of children. Children 6th grade down to newborns currently make up a third of our congregation. And we take seriously the call of God to raise them in truth.

We offer nursery and children's church where there are age-appropriate lessons and activities for preschool-5th grade. This takes place during the scripture reading and sermon.

The rest of the worship time they spend with us, particularly communion. We feel this is a good balance to keep them active and engaged, assisting in their spiritual formation, as well as giving their parents an opportunity to worship.

Curriculum

We use God’s Big Story (GBS) as our curriculum for our children. Developed by a group in the Anglican Network in Canada, GBS is a phenomenal resource that is both sacramental and liturgical.

From their website: “God’s Big Story (GBS) invites children to enter into the narrative of God’s abounding faithfulness and love for all of his beloved children. Our aim is that children and their teachers might hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and experience the fullness of new life in Christ as part of His body, the church.”
