At the Church of Our Saviour, your family will join a closely knit neighborhood of a kind that seems to be missing in our lives today. Your child will be known and loved in a warm community, and you and your child will make lasting friendships. You will meet parents who share your commitment to intentional, excellent parenting. Our families have a fun and spiritually rewarding life together and support each other through good times and bad.

rich programs for your child

Your child will find spiritual and moral resources of genuine substance here at the Church of Our Saviour.

As parents, we want the stories that fill our children's imaginations to be rich with spiritual wisdom. We want to offer them solid role models and friendships as they build a sense of self and find values to believe in. At Church of Our Saviour we offer programs that truly engage both schoolaged children and teens and give them food to grow emotionally, cognitively, and spiritually. Our goal is to love your child while helping him or her develop a mature and robust faith.

getting together

Our youth and our families gather to have fun and to share our lives together. Our Jr. High and Sr. High youth groups have a busy schedule of fun and service events, retreats, mission trips and pilgrimages. 


food for your relationship

Many of us need help from time to time in navigating the special relationship of marriage or committed partnership. We know that a sound parental relationship is vital to the spiritual health of both partners and their children. If you would like to lovingly tend your relationship, a member of our clergy staff can offer you options that will work for you.

we value parents!

Parenting asks that we be our best selves through one challenge after another! Talking things through with other parents can make all the difference, as we give and receive mutual support, love, and even wisdom! COS offers two groups for busy parents.

learning takes many forms

At Our Saviour we know that there are different ways of learning. Both our adult and youth programs reflect a rich diversity, spanning traditional Bible study to contemplative prayer workshops to setting out on pilgrimage or walking a labyrinth. Opening ourselves to new ways of looking at things can allow God to break into our lives in deeply fulfilling ways.  

learning transforms

Our clergy, staff, trained congregational leaders and guest teachers bring dynamic teaching to our classes and spiritual formation programs. Discover how our Sunday morning classes for your family can add meaning to your life together.

Children's Classes
Sundays, 9-10am
September - June 

The outstanding religious education curriculum Godly Play tells the Biblical story in its purest form – face to face and heart to heart to a listening circle of children. Montessori-based, Godly Play uses physical objects and simple, elegant language to make stories understandable to even the youngest child. Stories remain rooted in the best of modern Biblical scholarship. Large as the sky, rich and complex, and filled with food for thought, Godly Play stories make faith come alive.

The program also lays a solid foundation of knowledge in the Old and New Testaments and Episcopal faith and practice to prepare our young people for The Quest!

Youth Classes
Sundays, 9-10am
Our program for youth has three components. First, we explore the core principles of our faith: what do we really believe as Christians, what does the Bible have to say to young people in the 21st century, and why should we choose to follow Christ and come to Church? Second, we look at our faith in relation to other religions. We go on field trips to worship with other faiths and to participate in interfaith gatherings. In this way, we learn better who we are as Christians. Third, we engage in service to others, believing that Christ calls us to encounter and to love him in the guise of the less fortunate.

Adult Classes
In our ongoing small group studies participants share their lives together while engaging in spiritual study, members often forming deep friendships. Many groups study scripture or read a book of mutual interest: others follow curriculum created by our staff. Groups are led by trained facilitators and are limited in size to foster discussion. Sign-ups are on a "semester" basis; semesters last from 6-12 weeks. New groups are announced in the Sunday leaflet and the weekly newsletter.
