Church School, Kindergarten through Youth
Shannon Lee, Church School Director
The mission of the King’s Chapel Church School is to provide a religious foundation for the children and youth of our congregation. We also seek to support families in nurturing the faith and religious identity of their children, and to provide a space for warm and meaningful fellowship. We do this through family worship, religious education, and outreach to the community.
The Family Service in the Little Chapel is celebrated the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month from September to June. The liturgy draws mainly from the King’s Chapel's Book of Common Prayer so that children and youth come to learn the prayers and traditions reflected in the Sunday Morning Prayer liturgy. Each Family Service includes singing, a Bible reading, a short story or homily, and a time for us as a community to lift up our thanks and our concerns. Holy Communion is offered four times during the Church School year.
Our religious education program is based upon our heritage as Unitarian Christians. We are grounded in biblical wisdom and Christian identity yet free to exercise the individual use of reason to seek our own truth. From this perspective, we strive to nurture in our children and youth the seed of a curious and questioning faith, in the hope that their faith will continue to grow throughout their lives. Church School classes for preschoolers, elementary-age children, and middle and high school youth are offered immediately following the Family Service in the Little Chapel, during Morning Prayer, from September to June. Please contact Shannon Lee if you would like to receive the schedule of our Church School classes, or if you have questions.
