Religious Education Registration & Volunteering
Hello parents and caregivers! If your children will be joining us for religious education on Sunday or any RE event, they need to be registered annually. Guests are invited to attend RE on Sunday three times before registering.
Registering helps us put names to those adorable faces, take attendance, keep everyone safe and allows us to keep in touch with our amazing families.
Early registration offers a 50% discount until the end of August. Registration cost for the entire year is $50 per child for members, maximum cost is $100 per family for the year. Guests RE fees are $75 per child. If your family could use a full or partial fee waiver, please do not hesitate to contact the Minister of Religious Education Rev. Kimberlee Tomczak Carlson. We never turn a family away!

Thank you for sharing your time and energy to empower the next generation!
