Exploring the Faith Series
Where Parents and Kids Grow in Faith Together
Exploring the Faith is a time for kids, parents and pastors or adult leaders to meet together to learn about a particular "faith" topic. This is a wonderful time to grow in faith as a family and fulfill those promises you made at your child's baptism. There is no need to register or to be a member of Zion. All families are welcome to attend.
