Faith Formation
SOTH is a community of people on a journey of Christian spiritual formation. This is a lifelong process of greater wholeness with God, with others, and with oneself. We see education as a key component of spiritual formation but believe it also encompasses aspects such as spiritual practices, service, worship, play, retreats, music, creation care, engagement with neighbors, justice, relationships, and experiences. Here you will find opportunities for all ages to explore, discover, and grow in faith. All with the goal of deepening our capacity to impact the world with God’s love.

Kids in Worship
Children of all ages are encouraged to participate in Worship on any Sunday. While we offer Nursery and Kids Connection most Sundays, we also encourage families to spend time worshipping together. We offer Worship Bags and we encourage you to check out our new Kids Worship Space in the sanctuary where there are activities for kids to engage in the worship experience.
Nursery Care is for babies and toddlers 0-4yrs old. There are always at least two adults manning the nursery on Sunday mornings. Check-in downstairs on Sundays from 9:15-10:45 during Worship.
