At Colesville we believe that children and youth are not only the future, but also the present of the church. Colesville, warmly welcomes children and youth of all ages into the life of the church. We offer exciting programs for them to learn about Jesus and apply what they learn.
We emphasize joy in learning, involvement, and and fun as we help children and youth build an unshakable faith in Jesus Christ in a safe, affirming, and nurturing environment. Lifetime learning is important, at Colesville we are make it a priority to engage families in partnership to continue the child's faith development at home.
