Children ages 3 years old through 5th grade sit with their family at the beginning of the worship gathering. Shortly after the service begins, the Priest will bless and dismiss the children.

What is God’s Big Story?
The curriculum is rooted in the incredible truth that God has come to rescue his children from their own sin through his Son Jesus Christ. It explores the biblical narrative from creation and the fall to Jesus’ sacrificial victory on the cross to the promise of a new heaven and earth. GBS is taught in the context of worship through liturgy, song, scripture memory, story presentation, wondering questions, catechesis (teaching of doctrine and the faith), prayer, and many reflective and creative responses geared to a variety of age groups.
Please contact Jennifer Ford, the Director of Children’s Ministries, with questions about the God’s Big Story curriculum or any other aspect of children’s ministries at Good Shepherd Anglican.

Creation Camp 2023
God made a “wildly wonderful world” full of amazing creatures that delight and glorify him. Through daily devotions, nature study, and play, children learn that all of God’s works are good and that they themselves are beloved creations. We will use the “Wild Wonder Camp” curriculum created by A Roche, a national community of Christians working in biodiversity conservation to protect and restore vulnerable habitats, species, and communities.
