Children's Ministry

Welcome to Christ UMC Children’s Ministry! We are so excited for the opportunity to be in relationship with you and your family.

Here at Christ UMC, children are an important part of the congregation. We seek to teach and lead children in the faith, but we also affirm the gifts of children to lead and serve. We invite you to check out the many opportunities designed just for your children and family.

Sunday Mornings

 

Nursery

Nursery care is provided in room 121 for children age 3 and under. All nursery staff are Safe Sanctuary trained, background checked, and CPR and First Aid Certified. Our nursery opens each Sunday morning at 9:00 am. 

 

Children In Worship

We believe that children are a vital part of our congregation and we seek to train them to lead in worship as often as possible. Worshiping as a family is an important part of your child's spiritual development. Once in 3rd grade, children are invited to be acolytes, scripture readers, and communion servers. There are also things in our worship service that are just for kids!
