Children's Ministries

Children at Worship

Ministries to children, from ages 3 to 11 (sixth grade), include

Please see our calendar for this month's activities.

Worship

Children remain in Sunday worship for the first fifteen minutes to hear musical presentations and to participate in prayer and a children's story. On the first Sunday of each month, children remain in worship a few minutes longer to receive Communion with their families. Children and youth assist in worship as acolytes.

Sunday School

Sunday School Class

Children leave worship to attend age-appropriate groups for Bible-based lessons that include prayer, a devotional message, craft projects, music, and games. Each child is encouraged to bring a Bible to Sunday school.

As part of the Sunday school program, children learn songs that they perform in worship on special occasions.

Family Activities

Family activities include picnics, hikes, potlucks, pool parties, camps, and Christmas caroling. We encourage all generations of our church family to participate together.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is usually held for a week in the summer. This event incorporates Bible study, crafts, music, food, and fellowship.

Children's Fun

Online Fun for Children

The Pockets Web site, a division of Upper Room Ministries, provides Christian games, activities, jokes, poems, art, and spiritual growth activities for children. This is one site parents and care-givers will want to encourage their children to visit.

Note to Parents

Our church participates in Safe Sanctuaries, a United Methodist policy that ensures the safety of our children. The entire congregation takes seriously our duty to protect our children from physical and emotional harm.
