Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

At Touchstone Community Church, we stand by the United Church of Christ (UCC) as they emphasize belonging in their statement:  “No Matter Who you are, what you’ve done, or where you are on life’s Journey, you are welcome here.” And at Touchstone we know “This Space was created with you in mind!”

Families come in all forms and include the youngest of God’s beloveds. We treasure each life as sacred and growing in faith. We embrace the children and youth as valuable partners in our community of faith.

When we say this space was created with you in mind, we mean it. We provide a space for children to be who they are within our worship space. We welcome their voices as acts of praise and a lively reminder that we too are a growing family that worships and celebrates together.

We aim to connect each person to God and each other no matter how young, and find age appropriate ways to share the good news of Jesus in ways that grow each person into a loving response in the world.
