meaningful and vibrant connections with children and their families. Together
we walk alongside of one another as we grow in our faith throughout the many
seasons of our lives. CFM hosts classes, special celebrations, and weekly
ministries for children birth through 5th grade.
It all starts with getting connected!

Join us each week up on Level 3 where we work to provide a safe check-in.

Meet god, find life, make friends
In Children and Family ministry, we honor and support parents and guardians as the primary developers of faith in their children. We seek to partner with them as they introduce their children to a life of faith. A life centered in knowing God and finding new life in Jesus, in the context of a community gathered by the Holy Spirit. The links below are an invitation for you to join us!

Our VisioN
For Children & Family Ministries
Effective ministry for children and families takes seriously the culture of intentional faith formation and the leadership role of parents and non-related adults. Building on research and best practices, First Lutheran Church commits to these six points for the sake of forming faith:
• Faith Matters • Inter-generational Life Matters • Impact Adults Matter •
• Parents Matter • Age-Specific Ministries Matter • Worship Matters •
