Children and Youth Information

King of Peace currently provides two educational opportunities for children and youth…

1. Children and Youth Church. This is for children from K – 12th grade. Children leave at the beginning of the sermon and return during the Passing of the Peace. Children go to the conference room and have a lesson based on the weekly bible reading. We are currently doing the one room schoolhouse model but will break into age appropriate groups as the need arises.
2. KOP – YC. This is a youth group for children from K – 12th. They meet the 2nd Sunday of each month from 4:00 – 6:00. This fall we will be using “ A Child’s Guide to the Holy Eucharist” as we explore the meaning of communion. We also have times of fellowship such as bonfire with s’mores, attending a Jacksonville Icemen hockey game and Christmas caroling.

Fall meeting dates: Sept. 8, Oct. 13, Nov. 10, Dec. 8

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2136562209985274

These programs are led by adult volunteers who have completed Safe Church, Safe Communities https://www.episcopalchurch.org/safe-church/. The Christian Education committee is chaired by Gale Lizana. gale.lizana75@gmail.com
