FAMILY MINISTRY

Families are the center of faith formation.  

Parents are the most important influence shaping the religious and spiritual lives of children and youth. Indian Hill Church Family Ministry strives to develop the family as a community of faith by equipping parents and grandparents to transmit the Christian faith at home.

YOUNG FAMILY SERVICE

Each month, we offer a Young Family Service followed by an outreach project or a fellowship event. The shortened service is perfect for families with young children to experience spirituality in a relaxed, interactive setting. The music and prayers are designed for young families. Each service includes a dramatic re-telling of the Bible story and an adult reflection. 

For the summer season, we do not have any Young Family Services. We will resume them in the fall!

Upcoming Family Fellowship Events:

Join us for our special back-to-school Blessing of the Backpacks worship service! This Presbyterian Morning Worship service will be led by children and youth. Several songs from Vacation Bible School are part of the worship service. This is a lively, vibrant service for families and parishioners of all ages as we send the youth of our church off into a new school year. Come join us for community, fun, and reflection at Blessing of the Backpacks.

Rally Day  |  Sunday, September 10th  |  10:00 AM

Kick off our new program year each fall with Rally Day! We begin with a worship service, then we gather for lunch and entertainment on the lawn. Rally Day offers the chance to sign up for a number of activities and groups that begin in September as well as reconnect with the community that we haven’t seen during the summer. 

Fall Festival  |  Sunday, October 15th  |  10:00 AM

Join us for a family friendly worship service followed by the Fall Festival! Children are invited to wear church friendly costumes (nothing too scary or gruesome). Lunch and festivities will begin on the lawn (or in the Guild Hall if it rains) immediately following the worship service. We will serve lunch, have lots of games and crafts, offer prizes, and more! Invite your friends to the fun filled Fall Fellowship Festival! If your child has a soccer or baseball game, feel free to come to whatever your schedule allows and dressed in your athletic “costume.”
