Families – of all sizes, configurations and hues – are cherished at KCC. We offer a meaning- and joy-filled faith formation program for children, from infancy through high school. In addition to our weekly Sunday School, KCC provides a host of learning, service, and friendship-building opportunities for our youngest members.
Children and youth have so much to teach us about our faith. In a typical year, they sing, lead worship and special events throughout the year including Youth Sunday, Rally Day, Palm Sunday, and the Family Christmas Eve service. In turn, KCC plays host to children and families at treasured annual community events – the Blessing of the Animals, Halloween Carnival, Live Nativity, Easter Egg Hunt, and Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast.

Confirmation is taught by our minister Rev. Darryl Kistler and our Faith Programs Director, Barbara Runco. The classes are offered for 6th grade and older students who are preparing to assume responsibility for their own faith journeys. At the end of Confirmation, the young people who elect to join, are welcomed into the church’s membership. The next confirmation class begins in September 2023. For more information, contact Rev. Darryl Kistler at 619-284-1129 Ext. 305.
The award-winning Faith and Sexuality course, Our Whole Lives, is offered to 7th through 9th grade students, and older ones by request. As sexuality is a gift from God, we encourage young adults to articulate their values, consider consequences, and approach decisions with their faith in mind. It is a life saving program that can prevent disease, and help young people talk in depth, honestly and without judgment, about their sexual health, relationships, gender identity, and their changing bodies.
The next OWL class begins in September 2022. To learn more about the program, contact Barbara Runco, Faith Programs Director at barbara@kensingtonucc.com.
We provide a safe, nurturing environment in which to grow, learn and worship. For details, see our Safe Church Policy. [Release Form|
