A Faith philosophy
Children are one of God’s greatest gifts to the world. At Pine Street Church we recognize that all children are sacred, and all questions are honored and appreciated. We welcome children of all cultural backgrounds, family structures, and developmental states. Our mission is to give children the spiritual tools that they will need throughout the journey of life.
Since we believe we are spiritual beings, and because we feel that a spiritual life is a journey and not a destination, we don’t tell children what they should believe; rather we give them the tools to form their own faith. Respecting their evolving individual beliefs and religious choices, it’s our goal to guide children towards the path of kindness and compassion with a deep connection to God and all of creation. We honor the fact that neither God nor your child fits within a box, by using inclusive language and celebrating our differences.
All children learn differently, and therefore we approach learning from many different angles. On any given Sunday, one can expect to see children at the Pine Street Church learning about the inclusive and forgiving ways of Jesus, and experiencing God through music, art, drama, food, games, movement, and much more.
We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment for children, and therefore all volunteers who work with our children must accept our Children and Youth Protection Policy and agree to a background check.
