A program for children during Sunday worship from September through May. Children are invited to gather in the front room after story time for activities related to the readings of the day. They will return to the sanctuary during the offertory and will be present for Communion and the remainder of the service.
All Middle School & High Schoolers invited!
Four churches (Agnus Dei, Fox Island United Church of Christ, Gig Harbor Methodist and St. John’s Episcopal) have combined to host weekly youth gatherings.
The Sunday meetings are held at Gig Harbor United Methodist Church. Middle School meets from 4:00 to 5:30 pm; and High School meets from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Gatherings are on all Sundays Sept-June except for the last one of the month. Many other fun activities are held off-campus throughout the year.
It is an understood value of these gatherings that they are a safe and affirming environment for LGBTQ youth.
Believing strongly that Christian education does not end with confirmation, the Forum explores relevant, contemporary, even controversial topics, helping us develop and sustain a mature faith which serves us well in an increasingly complex world. Designed to nurture the whole person and enrich the life of the mind, heart, and soul, The Forum typically presents a variety of topics: theology, politics, the arts, world religions, contemporary issues, religious history—all with the intention of providing a vigorous, rich learning environment where the Christian faith is at the center.
We meet in a Hybrid Format. In-person meetings in the parish hall Sundays at 10:45 am may also be attended on the Zoom platform. Recordings can be viewed on our YouTube channel
Theology on Tap (ToT) meets the third Thursday of the month, Sept through May at Round Table Pizza in Gig Harbor. Its purpose is to foster discussion on theological and religious topics in an open, non-judgmental, and non-proselytizing format. Many Christians aren’t sure exactly what they believe and Theology on Tap is an opportunity for a safe conversation on a wide variety of topics while having dinner and an adult beverage. (Drinking is not required!)
