At Homer Congregational UCC, we believe that Christian Education is not just for children. We believe that Faith Formation is a life-long spiritual journey. Read on for more information on children’s ministry, youth ministry, and adult faith formation.

At HCC, children are welcome in worship and at the Communion Table. Children younger than first grade may go to the nursery after the children’s moment during each week’s worship service.

Faith Formation Classes

9:30 – 10:15 am, September through June

In Faith Formation, we learn Bible stories, consider tough questions about our faith, and strive to live and love like Jesus in all we do. On any given Sunday, you might find us doing crafts in the classroom, practicing a performance in the sanctuary, or out in the community putting our faith in action. There’s a place for every child at Homer Congregational Church, and we currently offer Faith Formation classes for Nursery-5th grade. Children in 6th grade and above meet with the Youth Group(see below).

Church Camp 2023- Hero Hotline

In the Homer Congregational Church youth group, young people learn what it means to be accepted as well as to treat others with respect, compassion, and kindness, according to the teachings of Jesus. We trust that modeling the love for one another that Christ teaches can change lives and change the world. We enjoy a range of activities which include mission and service, fun and fellowship, and living what we believe.

Youth Group

9:30 – 10:15 am, September through June

The Youth Group (6th-12th grade) gathers weekly on Sunday mornings with the director of youth ministry, Stefanie Fellows, and regularly gets together for fun events. From cookie decorating and game nights to lock-ins and trips to places like 5Wits, there is bound to be something for everyone!

In Adult Faith Formation, we explore our faith in a variety of ways. So come and join us for a book discussion, a TED talk, senior fellowship, or a deep dive into the Old Testament. The coffee is on early, so stop by and be a part of some thought-provoking conversation.

Adult Faith Formation Classes

Sundays at 9:30 am

Adult Faith Formation is always on the lookout for opportunities to grow our faith in unique and interesting ways. We have take a deep dive into the Old and New Testaments, considered several books (The Red Tent, The Wisdom Weaver, Wintering, Low), and listened to Dolly Parton’s America. Lately, we’ve been working through a series called Starting Points. Participants gather to engage in and discuss a podcast, video, or article centered around relevant and pressing topics for today’s world. See Weekday Words for meeting dates. Come join us on Sunday morning for great company and insightful discussion!
