Exciting Things Are Happening in the LAUNCH Children’s Ministry!

The team never slows down at LAUNCH! Right after wrapping up classes, our team jumped right into First Communions preparations and planning for Vacation Bible School

(June 23-27).

We hosted a training session for leaders from other local churches—spreading the energy and excitement even further! We can't wait to welcome children to this incredible camp experience. Want to be part of the fun? We’d love your help!

Registration Now Open for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd!

Looking for a beautiful way to nurture your child’s faith? Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based approach to early childhood and elementary faith formation, helping children grow in their relationship with God through hands-on learning and reflection.

Spots are very limited, and volunteering at least three times in class is required—but the spiritual growth your child will experience is priceless! ❤️

Register now for the 2025-2026 year!
