We attempt to include children and youth in all aspects of the life of the Church. We hope this church will become a comfortable and
safe place for them to gather with family and friends.
We also hope they will grow in faith as they join with us in the life of the congregation.
We make special efforts to integrate Children and Youth into the life of Glen Abbey United Church.
