Confirmation Group - Coming Soon
The Youth Group will focus on: What does it mean to be a Christian?  What does it mean to be a member of the United Christian Church?  What does it mean to be a member of Foothills Congregational Church.
We believe that education plays a critical role for all of us throughout our lives.  Foothills has, therefore, made Christian Education a priority for both young and old alike.  Through its Christian Education, Foothills strives to provide a strong educational foundation while also challenging its members to explore their own relationships with God.

 

Children: Our Church School Sunday program has classes for pre-schoolers through 8th grade and a nursery for the very young.  Children are invited to sit with their parents at the beginning of the 9 a.m. worship service before they are asked to gather at the front of the sanctuary for a  "Children's Message" from our minister.  Children then go spend the remaining time in Church School until the 9 a.m. service concludes.

 

The Church School curriculum is lectionary-based, which means that the children learn about the same scriptures that are discussed in the main worship service.  The Church School program also includes music for fun, worship, and special occasions, such as the Christmas Pageant and Palm Sunday festivities.

 

Middle & High Schoolers: We have an active youth fellowship (PF - Pilgrim Fellowship) that meets Sunday evenings.  The program has professional leadership and features outreach projects, fun discussions, movies and outings, and Christian fellowship.  They often make a mission trip to help with some large project.  Each year, the group usually goes to Mexico and builds a small house for a poor family.  SeeCalendar and News/Events for youth events scheduled each month.

 

Adults: There are two Bible study classes that meet once a week, during the day.  There are frequent forums - usually with outside speakers - held after the 10:30 AM worship service on a wide range of topics.  There are occasional classes, such as the six week video class on Church History and a nine week class on "How to Read the Bible in Twelve Easy Steps".  There are two annual retreats, the weekend Fall Retreat held at White Memorial Retreat Center on Mt. Tamalpais and the Advent day Retreat at El Retiro Retreat Center in Los Altos.  We occasionally have special educational events for young families, such as parenting classes and Bible study classes.

 

Staff:  We have part-time directors for Adult Education and Family Ministries, Church School, Youth, and Church School Music.   We have a full time Associate Minister of Christian Education to oversee our Christian Education programs.
