At CSA, children and teens are not an afterthought. They are a core part of who we are. Every Sunday, while adults gather for celebration, our young people have a space built for their age, their energy, and the spiritual wisdom they already carry.
We believe children don't need to be filled up with something new. They need to be reminded of what they already know.
Our children's program runs concurrently with the adult service, organized by age group so every child gets something that actually speaks to them.
Each class uses stories, songs, games, crafts, journaling, and prayer to make spiritual principles tangible and fun. Our approach is always affirmative. We teach children who they truly are, never fear, shame, or unworthiness.
Every Sunday, the kids close by sharing what they've learned with the adults in the Sanctuary. It is one of the most beloved moments of our week.
The prayer we teach our children:
The Life of God surrounds me. The Love of God enfolds me. The Power of God protects me. Wherever I am, God is. And I am a happy, healthy child of God.
