CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AT
LA CANADA CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder
them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew
19:14
The La Canada Congregational Church is dedicated to the
foundation of celebrating a loving and inclusive God; recognizing our God
through Jesus Christ and his teachings; and sharing those teachings of forgiveness,
reverence, charity, understanding, humbleness, joy, and love for all mankind
with our children.
The LCCC Kid’s Program recognizes that there are many ways
to engage and teach children about Christian beliefs, traditions, and
covenants, including storytelling, music, games, arts, reading, charitable
efforts, and traditional lessons.
The LCCC Christian Education Board is dedicated to
incorporating all forms of learning, and very much welcomes the ideas,
suggestions, help, and inclusion of parents and the congregation.

“The Christian story can draw us in and change us in
amazing ways. By hearing about
others—their faith and doubts, their encounters with God, and what it means for
them to live life as Christians—we become part of the story, too. We want to
know a loving God who understands us and accepts us as we are. We want to have a connection to God and
to others through Jesus Christ. We
want to become part of the vision of the reign of God. As we become engaged in the story, we
become part of it, too."
