Children in Worship

During in-person worship on Sundays, we invite children and young people to make themselves comfortable. We have activity packs to distribute to keep busy hands and minds occupied during our hour-long service.

Everyone is welcome to use the Fireplace Room as an extension of the sanctuary space (that is what it was designed for).The seating is comfortable, and the space is prepped with developmentally-appropriate activities and stations for children of all ages to engage.

There is no expectation that babies and toddlers and kiddos will sit still for 60 minutes, or remain silent. We invite real bodies and real lives into our spaces.

We hope that if you are ready to bring your children back to the sanctuary, you will feel comfortable living in this space with us. Jaqui will be present in the Fireplace room every Sunday during worship to help welcome folks and navigate the space.

Maybe you'll choose to begin in the sanctuary and find that you need or want to move to the Fireplace Room space - great! Take yourself to the space that works for you when you need it!

First Congregational is a Just Peace, inclusive community of Christian faith in Corvallis. We're a church where all are welcome - and where ‘all’ really does mean all. We are real people who care about nurturing love and belonging in the world, most often in the context of Christianity. We worship with tradition and innovation, weaving our liturgies and stories together every Sunday morning. We tell stories from the Bible and our lives, knowing that every story is a holy one.

If you are looking for a faith community to call home, we would love to meet you!
