Faith Formation
Investing in tomorrows future, one youth at a time.
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:38-40
At Bolton Congregational Church, UCC, we strive to live these words. Our goal in Faith Formation is that the children leave each class with a better understanding of the Bible and with the knowledge to go out and live their lives in a way that would honor Jesus. They will learn to love their neighbors as themselves and grow as Christians more and more each day.
Faith Formation Classes
While our youth are always invited to worship with us, they are also encouraged to join with their peers in our Church School Programing.
Christian Education takes place right at the start of worship, our youth gather in Chandler Hall right at 9:30 before splitting into our age group classrooms, we learn and then we all gather in the sanctuary for the last portion of worship as a combined community. Youth from K-8th grade are invited.
We also have a background checked, volunteer-staffed nursery available for newborns through age 3 from the start of service until the end. Please reach out for more information.
Our curriculum is Feasting on the Word. Feasting on the Word Curriculum is lectionary based and allows the children and adults alike to learn the same scripture lesson each week.
We offer Christian Education classes for:
-
pre-K - 1st grade
-
2nd grade - 8th grade
-
Confirmation Class - 9th grade or older
Coning in 2027 our faith formation is coming to you online via google classroom!!
At Bolton Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, we believe that faith is a journey—one that grows deeper when we walk it together. Faith Formation is more than classes; it’s a safe and welcoming space to explore questions, share stories, and discover how God is still speaking in our lives today.
Our Faith Formation offerings are open to all ages and all stages of life. Children learn the stories of Scripture through wonder and play. Youth and adults wrestle with questions of faith, justice, and discipleship. Together, we create a community where every person is valued, every question is honored, and every journey is embraced.
Whether you are brand new to church or have been part of the faith for many years, there is a place for you here. Come learn, grow, and be transformed as we seek to follow Christ’s way of love, compassion, and hope.
