Families of all sizes, shapes and hues are welcome and cherished at Kingston Congregational Church. The church provides an engaging and comprehensive Christian Education program for infants through eighth grade. Rooted in the Scriptures and the Christian tradition, the program offers a range of options for learning, service, and friendship. We use Gather ‘Round curriculum published by Brethren Press. It is a Bible-based curriculum which seeks to nurture Christian discipleship and community, love, justice, and peace.

Our caring and trained teachers, excellent curriculum, and a broad range of enrichment activities offer a variety of ways for children and youth to learn about the Christian faith and participate in the life of the community.
