Faith Formation Committee
January 2008 Report to the Congregation

Faith formation is a life-long process, and KCC's Board of Christian Education oversees programs that take our members from the nursery through childhood and youth classes and on into adult education. The Board of Christian Education's primary function is the administration of the church's faith formation programs. To this end we monitor curriculum materials and recruit teachers. We lead classes for young children, middle-school aged children, and junior and senior high school youth. Not only do we hold classes during the regular school year, but we consistently have a well-structured program to take us through the summer months as well.

We also support the teaching of adult education classes, and the past year saw high participation rates in Living the Questions, Saving Jesus, and The Heart of Christianity. The Board of Christian Education is the church's liaison to various community welfare agencies, and as such is responsible for planning the monthly mission projects. These range from collecting warm hats and gloves for the residents of Tent City 4 to donating birthday supplies to Hopelink, to buying Christmas gifts and filling food baskets for families sponsored by KITH. Part of our mission is to bring our classroom experiences to the congregation, and some of the ways we do that include organizing the Christmas Pageant, the Epiphany service, Lenten activities, and the youth-led Easter Sunrise Service.

We also sponsor many fun activities throughout the year, including the Halloween party, the Easter egg hunt, and the barbecues that start and end our official church year. We are in the second year of holding film viewing and discussion evenings the first Friday of every month (October – June).
