Faith Stepping Stones

Here at Buffalo UMC we celebrate the milestones of faith in a child’s life with their family and the congregation through our Faith Stepping Stones ministry.  At eight stages we bring children before the congregation in worship to acknowledge their faith walk and bless the journey. Some of the blessings also include a class where parents and children learn together, and all include a gift to the child.
