At Hosanna, we take a two-fold method to Faith Formation.  

  • We believe that children grow in faith and learn by being in worship. They experience God’s grace and love by being part of a faith community. This is essential for faith formation. Therefore, children of all ages are welcome and encouraged to worship in community with their family.

  • Faith formation also occurs in meaningful, hands-on, discussion-based learning opportunities geared to age-specific learners. These learning opportunities take place one Sunday per month following worship and will focus on what has been happening in worship and the life of the church.
