People of all ages can grow spiritually by learning more about themselves and the world around them. At our Bay Area Spiritual Center, we want everyone to feel welcome and involved, and give all our participants a chance to grow. For this reason, we have created a specialized youth and family ministry dedicated to enriching the lives of children which then supports their parents, which then supports our entire community.
In the sections to follow, we highlight a few key aspects of our youth and family ministry. If you are searching for a place to grow spiritually with your family, we hope this provides some useful insight into our program. Please know you are welcome to join us any time!
Ideal Spiritual Foundation
Spirituality is vital to existence. We believe growth happens when you gain more understanding of yourself as an expression of Spirit, and there is no one too young to begin building that awareness. The goal of our youth and family ministry is to help young people understand their inherent value just as they are, learn how to respect each other regardless of differences, and develop relationships that are uplifting and caring. Oh, yes … and to have fun while doing all of this! We are proud of the impact we see on the lives of our youngest participants each time they join us.
Welcoming for All
There is no minimum age requirement to attend a service with us or come to one of our events. In fact, we are open to people of all ages, races, ethnicity, genders, and belief systems. We want everyone to feel welcome at our Center, and the diversity of our group is a major strength of our community. If you are searching for a spiritual home, you are welcome here.
Concepts for All Ages
The spiritual needs of infants, toddlers, tweens, and teenagers are very different. Our experienced youth and family ministry leaders embrace these differences and build uplifting programs for each group. We have sessions for each of these age groups that are held on the days we have services. By introducing spirituality and diversity at an early age, we can help young people become well prepared to take on life with a positive perspective.
Expert Staff Members
We dedicate a great deal of time and resources to our family ministry. Our team is made up of caring, experienced individuals who are vetted for all regulatory requirements for working with youth. They have a passion for education and helping young people thrive physically, mentally, and spiritually.
We would love to welcome you and your whole family to one of our services, community events, and/or workshops. To learn more about who we are and what we believe, check us out online, give us a call, or stop by our facility any time.
