Welcome to the Children and Families page!!

     First Congregational UCC Santa Barbara has a strong commitment to the participation of all ages of people in the life of our church.  We have families of all shapes and sizes as part of the congregation, and we are blessed by the gifts each person shares with us.

     Some great online resources for families and church school teachers include:

    - the website for our church school curriculum, Seasons of the Spirit.  Be sure to check out SpiritSightings, a weekly connection between current world events and the scripture lesson for that week.  It's a great resource for any person's prayer life.

    - the website for Teaching Tolerance, a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center

    - the website Faith At Home, with many seasonal ideas for incorporating faith practices into family life
