Christian Education

We all want our children to have wholesome and wonderful lives, throughout their lives.  When times are challenging, we want our children to have a firm foundation of positive experiences and beliefs that help them through those times the best way possible.  At the First Congregational Church of Danbury, we believe that our faith helps accomplish this goal and we help our children to understand the benefits of faith through Christian Education.

Our bright nursery room offers child care for our littlest ones.  Preschoolers through eighth graders stay in worship for a Children’s message then leave for church school.  The curriculum we use offers opportunities to learn the stories of the Bible through a variety of methods- drama, cooking, art, and science are the most popular.  Our Senior High class meets twice a month to discuss how their faith can help them understand contemporary topics and daily life.  Take a look at some of the photos on this website and you’ll see a wide variety of children’s activities including mission trips, youth fellowships, vacation Bible school, and church camps.  Over the years, we have helped our children develop long lasting friendships and a hefty dose of confidence with which to face the world as people of faith.

Christian Education is run by parent volunteers with the assistance of our pastoral staff, including Pastor Laura Westby and the current Yale Divinity School intern.  It’s a warm, cooperative group comprised of people with the same goals – to foster the spiritual health and well being of their students.

Please bring your child by after the Children’s Message during the service each Sunday, and check us out for yourself.  With Christian Education, the more the merrier!
