Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them;
for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.”
Matthew 19:14

Faith formation happens within families, so our approach to Christian Education includes the whole family, infants through seniors. We hope to walk alongside you, no matter where you are on the journey of faith and life. We invite everyone to be part of any or all of our programs described below.  For more information, contact our Director of Family Ministries, Daune Arsnow, at 609-595-4069 or Daune@CranburyPres.org.
