Faith Formation

We are always pleased to welcome new visitors and new friends to our growing community.

Our Faith Formation ministry is led by the caring team of Renee Hoffman, Leah Reddy, and Karla Reiland. They all have children in the various faith formation programs and have a desire to see our children & families grow in their faith and relationships with each other.

Faith Formation classes meet on Sundays at both 9 & 10:30am Worship hours. Start together in Worship, then after the Time with Children, teachers will lead the children to their class space. Each week we provide lessons, activities and Bible stories similar to those being used in Worship to help your family experience the love of Jesus together.

We offer 3 age levels of classes (as well as occasion All Ages Sundays):

Please be sure to REGISTER below to stay up to date on Nativity’s Faith Formation offerings. Filling out the form is quick and painless!

Questions? Contact Renee Hoffman, Leah Reddy, or Karla Reiland

Faith Formation Registration 2023-2024
Additional Student Information
Ex: My family prefers outdoor classes; we plan to do a mix of online/in-person classes
$15/student, $30 maximum per family with students in preschool – Grade 6. Support your Youth Ministries. It takes a village to help raise a child. It also takes supplies, training for leaders, and special events for the year. To that end, we suggest a payment of $15 (not to exceed $30 per family). Payments can be made online OR checks can be made payable to Nativity Lutheran Church.
Please read the below description on how and why pictures may be used.

We will not name your child or children featured in promotional communications unless we have your express permission. If you are concerned about images of your child participating in Nativity activities appearing in Nativity press and web publications, please contact your child’s program coordinator.
