St. Bartholomew’s aims to encourage the growth and
development of each individual child’s relationship with God. We
believe that the church’s best resources for growth in the faith
are participation in the worshiping community as we tell our
stories and celebrate Eucharist. We want our children to feel
like important parts of this community; that they will be loved,
protected and encouraged to grow in the faith; that their voices
will be listened to, their gifts accepted with gratitude.
We are blessed with conscientious, caring and creative
teachers. We place them in teams so that old-timers and
newcomers, men and women, adults and teens, and the various
personalities are well-balanced in each class.
