Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
Serving youth and children calls for passion, patience, and faithfulness – pointing out the sacred in the midst of the chaos of adolescence and walking faithfully with young people as they transition from child to young adult.
Responding to the spiritual needs of young people is about building trusting relationships. At Christ Church Cathedral, we strive to walk alongside families and young people as they journey from childhood to adulthood, recognizing their gifts for ministry, their questions about spirituality, and their desire to make a difference in the world.

The Children's Room
The Children's Room
The Children's Room is open and staffed during the 10:00 worship service, providing care and formation activities for children, birth through age 10. Here you will find a lovely mixed-age play space incorporating many elements of Waldorf and Montessori early childhood philosophies.
Each Sunday, we gather around the rug for a circle time of seasonal scripture and singing. After our circle, we share a snack that we've made together. Children are welcome to worship with their families in the nave and come to the Children's Room just for circle time (during the sermon) or to come and stay for the entire service!
