Nursery & Children’s Ministry

Nursery

Sundays, 10:00 until Eucharist

The nursery at Christ the Redeemer is designed to be a prelude to Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for children ages 0-3 years old. Each Sunday during the service, two trained nursery assistants will lead the children in worship through song and prayer table time, as well as child-led play and investigation of nursery materials. Infants and toddlers can be dropped off in the nursery anytime during the service, where they will be signed in and receive a pager, and remain until Eucharist, when the children rejoin their families to receive Eucharist together with them.

Children’s Ministry

Level 1 (3-6): Sunday Mornings, 8:30 – 10:00 am
Level 2 (6-9): Sunday Mornings, 8:30 – 10:00 am & Sunday Evenings, 4:00 – 6:00 pm
Level 3 (9-12): Sunday Evenings 4:00 – 6:00 pm

 

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori based approach to Christian formation for children ages newborn-12+. Children meet in an atrium room which is prepared for their age group; Level I, 3-6 year olds, Level II, 6-9 year olds, and Level III, 9-12+ year olds. Beginning with the youngest child, developmentally appropriate scripture and liturgy are presented to the child(ren) who is then given space, time, and materials to work with and to reflect on what they have heard and seen. The presentations follow the rhythm of the church year for example, during Advent, each atria will light candles on an Advent wreath and listen and reflect on prophecies or narratives that tell of Jesus’ birth.

Adult Sunday School

Survey of the Bible
Sundays, 9:00 – 10:00 am

This year (Fall 2026) in Adult Sunday School we will be offering a Survey of the Bible. The Bible tells the story of the world, from beginning to end. But, if you don’t understand the story arch, making sense of individual passages will be difficult. The goal of this class is to not only tell the story, but to convey how each part fits in the whole, so that the average parishioner will be able to pick up their Bible, read any passage, and have a sense of how it fits into the overall story of salvation. Attendees will receive a page of notes at the end of every class detailing the major themes and an outline of each book of the Bible for their own personal reference.

Foundations Classes

Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:00 pm

Christian Foundations is a one semester course that covers the basics of Christianity from an Anglican perspective, meeting every Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm in the sacristy. The class is geared toward newcomers, but open to everyone. It is required before receiving either baptism or confirmation, and covers the contents of traditional catechesis through the Apostles Creed, the Our Father, and the Ten Commandments.

In Christ, we are all called to become saints. Let us together seek him with our whole lives.

 

In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands,

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

One of the Church’s central jobs is to make disciples. We are here to produce mature believers who are no longer “conformed to this world” but “transformed by the renewal of the mind (Rom. 12:2).” Coming to church on Sundays is indispensable, but it is also not enough. We are all called to pick up our cross daily and seek Christ with our whole being. Every Christian has a duty of lifelong catechesis and formation into the likeness of Christ.

At Christ the Redeemer we are dedicated to make sure every parishioner has the spiritual tools they need at their disposal to “seek Christ” daily from birth through adulthood. In Christ, we are all called to become saints. Let us together seek him with our whole lives.
