CHILDREN & YOUTH
MINISTRY
Children of all ages are welcome at the Church of the Palms! In worship, education and special events, we learn about the life of Jesus and the Bible, while often digging into some songs and arts & crafts. Sunday School is offered November through April for grades K-5. Youth Group is available to youth 6-12.
MUSIC
MINISTRY
Music is important to the worship life at Church of the Palms and Boynton Beach Congregational Church. Weekly, we are inspired by the sounds from our lovely pipe organ and grand piano. Guest soloists and instrumentalists grace our services. If you sing or play an instrument and would like to share your time and talent, please speak to Steven Gorden our Organist an director of Music.
MISSION
MINISTRY
As part of our visioning process, Church of the Palms is committed to being a more mission-oriented congregation.
Various hands-on mission opportunities are available throughout the year.
Representatives from Church of the Palms sit on two important and active committees in Delray Beach: (1) The Interfaith Committee on Social Services and (2) The Delray Beach Homeless Initiative Taskforce. Both do vitally important work. We are proud to support both organizations with COTP representatives.
Additionally, we partner with and support the Loving God Orphanage in Gonaives, Haiti as well as college students in Venant, Haiti.
