faith formation children’s ministry committee

A committee of children's ministry leaders, representing congregations around the diocese, meets quarterly to empower, equip, support and nurture the ministry to the youngest members of the Body of Christ. The committee guide is A Children's Charter for the Church including nurture of the child, ministry to the child and ministry of the child. More information about the charter and ministry to children and youth can be found on the web site of the National Episcopal Church at www.ecusa.anglican.org/myp.

This committee provides training and continuing education for children's ministry leaders and teachers throughout the diocese on a variety of subjects including child abuse prevention. It serves as a network for children's leaders in the diocese for support and resource sharing. The committee takes leadership in the design and promotion of Cathedral Day, an annual diocesan multi-generational event at St. Mark's Cathedral where children lead the way. For more information about the Children's Committee or to learn how you might participate in this ministry, please contact Sue Tait stait@ecww.org.
