Both children and parents need support and skills for living their faith and navigating life's challenges. All sorts of families working with all sorts of challenges are welcome and present in our community, and all are treasured here.
All children are always welcome in worship, and active participation in worship is part of how they are formed in faith.
Safeguarding God's Children: Our Shared Ministry
Our parish is striving to serve a new generation of children. The physical and emotional safety of the children we serve is of the highest priority. Our vestry has completed a Safe Church Policy for CGS. This document is our communal covenant, explaining how we screen and select adults who work with youth here, our behavioral standards for adults working with children, and how we will respond to concerns or grievances.
We have also created guidelines for our Sunday nursery, so that parents will know what to expect, how to prepare well for their child's visit to our nursery, and what they can do to ensure the health and safety of all children in the nursery.
