Families at the Advent

From birth and Baptism to Confirmation and beyond, the Advent supports and nurtures children and families in their Christian lives. Read on to learn more!

Growing in Christ at the Advent

Sunday Nursery Care

Nursery care is offered for infants during the 9 am service (and for infants and toddlers during the 11:15 am service), and for toddlers during the 9 am service. To ensure the child’s safety and your piece of mind, all parents are given a pager when dropping off their child, and will be paged if needed.

Beulah Land - ages 0-3

Church School - ages 3 and up

Church School happens every week after the 9:00 a.m. Mass. Following Communion, our Church School teachers meet all children ages 4 & up at the rear of the church and head up to the third floor. The Church of the Advent uses a Montessori-based curriculum called Godly Play. The goal of Godly Play is to teach children the art of using religious language – parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action – to help interpret the events of their daily lives. Godly Play teachers tell Bible stories using multi-sensory materials that encourage children to enter into the stories and relate them to their personal experiences.
