Children's Sunday Morning Ministries

Nursery (Located in the Children's Ministry Center)     Our nursery is divided into infant and toddler areas.  Each area is staffed by a group of dedicated and qualified caregivers led by Nursery Coordinator, Nancy Otworth.  In addition to Sunday morning, nursery care is provided for many of our other ministry gatherings. 

 

Sunday School (Located in the Children's Ministry Center)     As United Methodist we believe organized spiritual growth and formation is key in developing faith.  Though parents have the greatest responsibility in passing on the Christian faith,  we are committed to being a part of a child's faith journey.   On Sunday mornings children are welcome to join groups according to their age.  All 3-year olds through Kindergarten children meet in 112 for a gathering and song time and have their own Bible Lesson.  1st and 2nd graders meet upstairs in room 219. 3rd graders meet in the media Room upstairs and 4th and 5th grade gather in room 220.  Sunday school is 9:15 to 10:15. All children need to be signed-in and out from the front desk of the Children's Center.

 

Children's Time in Worship     Worship is a vital experience for children to enter God's presence alongside adults.  A special time is given to them during each morning worship service.  This is a time where the children are invited to the altar area and receive God's Word in their language.  Children are a blessing and we welcome them.  Special bulletins and activity sheets are available for young and older children.    The nursery is available to children five years and younger.  

 

Children's Church---R.O.C.K--(Reaching out for Christ the King)

The R.O.C.K. - Reaching Out for Christ the King, children’s church for Kindergarten - 5th grades, meets each week (except the first Sunday of the month) during the 10:40 service only.  Please encourage your child to bring their personal Bible with them each week.  (We do have extra Bibles in the R.O.C.K. if they forget their own.)

 

Children wishing to attend the R.O.C.K. will be escorted to the Upper Room (located at the top of the stairwell across from the VIP office) after Moments with Children.  Parents need to pick up their child from the R.O.C.K. immediately following the worship service.  Parents of children that are hesitant or nervous about attending the R.O.C.K. for the first time are welcome to accompany their child to help them transition into this new worship experience.
