We want you and your family to feel welcomed and loved. The Children & Family Ministry strives to provide opportunities for Christian growth, service, and fellowship through high-quality programs and special events as well as opportunities for sharing faith at home. Together, we partner in the spiritual formation of your children.
We hope that your family will connect, grow, and serve with us at Incarnation!
The nursery is open on Sunday from 8:45 am to 12:45 pm and 4:45 to 6:45 pm for parents participating in church programs on campus. Children of all ages are welcome in all worship services.
Nursery care is also available for various classes and activities throughout the year, usually with prior registration. See individual events for details.
Family worship is very important, but we realize that our youngest members have a difficult time sitting through an entire service. In Children’s Chapel, kids hear the Gospel story in child-friendly language, engage in worship through music, and learn the Lord’s Prayer.
Drop off your child right before the service, and at the appropriate time, they will be led into the service so that you may worship together as a family during the celebration of Holy Communion. Parents may allow their 3– to 5-year-olds to stay in the nursery during Communion by indicating this wish at check-in.
Classes are sandwiched between 9 & 11:15 am services with a moment to grab a cup of coffee in the Welcome Center, engage in fellowship, and drop your kids off at their class before settling in for an Adult Sunday School class.
Three years old by September 1. Children discover and explore Biblical stories and our Anglican worship through the use of specially designed materials they are able to touch and feel. They are invited to respond creatively and then gather again to enjoy a feast.
Children begin to understand the fundamentals of the Christian faith through this year-long class that focuses on baptism, prayer, and service. The last third of the year culminates in preparation for First Communion.
Each lesson the children are introduced to Bible characters and their stories through watching an animated video. The children discuss what happened and how they feel about the story they just saw. Then, they open their Bibles and explore the day’s story, and reflect on the Bible story through hands-on activities or games using their learner leaflet.
Throughout the year, children will study five Old Testament and five New Testament units. Each lesson, the children will start by watching an animated video that exposes a key biblical theme, use their Bibles as they search for passages that relate to the theme, and make associations to their own lives through activities.

Sunday School for children and adults starts at 9:30 am, prior to the 10:30 am service. We have a time of fellowship after Sunday School, and we encourage you to join us!

The health and well-being of all children at Church of the Incarnation is a priority. To make sure that we are all working together to maintain a healthy environment, please follow the policies and procedures listed in the illness policy.
Please do not allow your child to attend the nursery or Sunday School, or we will call you to pick up your child if:
Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics-Committee on Infectious Diseases states that a child should remain home if any of the following conditions exist:
Faith & Family kits are a wonderful resource to be equip your children to grow in the faith. As the Episcopal Church puts it so eloquently, “Jesus teaches us to come before God with humble hearts, boldly offering our thanksgivings and concerns to God or simply listening for God’s voice in our lives and in the world. Whether in thought, word, or deed, individually or corporately, when we pray, we invite and dwell in God’s loving presence.”
Generosity is one of the most important biblical concepts we can teach our children. The best example of generosity that has ever been seen upon the earth is the gift of salvation we have through Jesus Christ. It is through this gift that we are able to show a heart of true generosity toward God and his people.
It can be challenging to turn our child’s ear toward generosity in the midst of such a me-driven culture. Developing a heart of generosity takes time and practice. And it will help if your child sees your spirit of generosity first and foremost.
Download the booklet to begin exploring generosity in everyday life with your family. Please help your children fulfill these acts weekly and discuss the corresponding scripture, wrapping up the week with this prayer each time:
Dear God, It is so easy to want things for myself. Please help me think of others instead. Amen.
Become equipped to teach your kids how to pray. This kit has everything you need to pray together as a family. Every day, you have the opportunity to practice a family prayer time with Daily Prayer Cards. The card looks different each week as it follows the Gospel reading and collect for the week. Every Wednesday night, we encourage families to read and have a conversation about the previous Sunday’s Gospel reading with our Weekly Gospel reading and coloring sheets. Finally, we encourage you and your kids to use the provided calendar and mark each day you pray!
