Learning Academy

Do you remember the experience of junior high/middle school? When everyone had fears and worries but it was hard to let it show. When everything in your life was changing. It’s a tough period of life made even tougher these days because of the impact and pressures of school and social media.

Growing in Faith

The best environment for a young person to grow in faith is when they are in an intentional intergenerational faith community. Our modern world has unfortunately grouped young people to mostly spend time in peer groups. Family is the best intergenerational community to grow faith, and a close second is the church. Sheridan’s Learning Academy is able to provide this rich environment for all ages to grow. When our confirmation youth sit side-by-side with a caring adult from our congregation, study, question, listen, and discuss together, this helps the young person to feel recognized and valued. When adults witness the faith of our confirmation students come alive in these classes, their faith is renewed and they feel hopeful for the future of the church. This is the gift of Wednesdays @ the Well and Confirmation. Come be a part of the Winter Learning Academy and experience this for yourself.
