Welcome! Children are precious and the faith of children is a gift from God! Shaping that faith is the privilege of parents, family, and the faith community. Gloria Dei seeks to support families and offer faith-shaping experiences for children at every stage of their development. Our programs incorporate Gloria Dei's Guiding Principles: we are rooted in beauty, compassion, love, justice, generosity, and Christ. We are intentional about finding ways for children to know they are valued and an important part of the congregation! Check out our many programs for your family below. If you have any questions please email Director of Children's Ministries Kyrstin Schwartz.

Faith in the Park with Gloria Dei for All Ages:
Wednesday evenings in August at Saint Paul Highland Park
We created this as an alternative to our typical VBS program this year with the intention of bringing all ages together to grow in their faith and have fun together. Join us and reengage with your Gloria Dei community. We will gather at the park shelter at Saint Paul Highland Park every Wednesday night in August. Come any time after 5 p.m. for free play at the park, yard games and BYO dinner (optional). At 6 p.m. we will have devotion together and group activity and finish by 7 p.m.

Sunday School resumes in the fall. Check here for information about summer programs for Children, Youth and Families, like Faith in the Park, Saints Games, Feed My Starving Children, Park Playdates and Youth Serve Night.
