RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

At the Church of Christ the King we believe that parents have the greatest influence on their child’s faith development.  Children receive their faith from their parents n much the same way that they receive their language, their loyalties, their preferences, their talents and their habits.
 
We believe that our Catholic Faith and Tradition will best be learned and passed on by participation at weekly Mass.  We view our family faith formation program  as a supplement to regular Mass attendance and faith sharing within the family. We also view our parents as life-long learners of the faith since we are all called to life-long discipleship.


FAMILY BASED FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM 
Since we view the parents as having the primary role in a child’s faith formation, our primary program is family centered and includes family, parent, and child based teaching. We look to give parents supplemental tools with which to pass on the Catholic Faith to their children.  Our Family Based Religious Education process (FBRE) is a program for Grades 1 through 5 (Grade 5 may select FBRE or Jr. High option). We gather once a month on Thursday afternoon or Friday evening from September through April and we conclude the annual process with a BBQ in May.

JUNIOR HIGH FAITH FORMATION 
Children in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade have the opportunity to attend a Sunday evening faith formation program, meeting approximately twice a month. This program begins at 4:15pm and concludes with our 5:30pm Mass. This program allows for fostering a peer community and prepares this age group for the CTK Youth Ministry Program.  In keeping with our belief that faith is best passed by and within the family, five of our sessions involve parents and children together.
