YOUTH & CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS

St. Francis is committed to nurturing the faith of our youngest members. From nursery care through high school, we offer age-appropriate programs where children and youth can grow in their relationship with God and one another. Contact Lindsay Tonge at lindsay@stfrancispvb.org for more information.

    CHILDREN'S CHAPEL

    During the 10:15 a.m. Sunday service, children ages 4 through 5th grade are invited to their own worship experience. Through storytelling, songs, and hands-on activities, kids explore the day’s Scripture in a way that speaks to them. Children return to the main service at the Peace to receive communion or a blessing with their families. Contact Lindsay Tonge at lindsay@stfrancispvb.org for more information.

    Field Life Crew is our youth group for middle and high school students. Through fellowship, service projects, Bible study, and fun events, teens build lasting friendships and deepen their faith in a welcoming community. Contact Lindsay Tonge at lindsay@stfrancispvb.org for more information.
