Children

We believe every child is beloved, whole, and made in the image of God. All of our Children and Family events/ programs are designed to partner with  families to meet you and your children where you are and for who you are as we grow in faith together. It is our mission to create and hold spaces both inside and outside of the church where every child knows they are seen, loved, and safe to explore and grow in their individual faith journey.

Sunday Mornings with AUMC Kids

On Sundays, all Children PreK-5th Grade are invited to meet in Room 209 at 10am for Elementary Large Group. From Large Group we will move to  Small Groups (divided by grade levels) for the rest of the morning to further explore our Large Group lesson through age specific activities. Our kids' curriculum follows our sermon series and scripture stories from worship.

We know that a child's faith journey doesn't stop when they walk out the doors of the church and we also know that the family has the greatest potential to influence a child. "The average church only has 40 hours in a given year to influence a life; the average parent has 3,000 hours per year to influence a life." By partnering with the home, we can make a greater impact and provide space for every child to grow in faith to know and share God's love. By following our worship series, we hope to create an intergenerational learning experience that makes exploring these scriptures together as a family after church easy.

Family worship

Kids in worship spaces matter. Kids seeing YOU worship matters.

On Family Worship Sundays (typically held on the first Sunday of the month), we do not have Children or Youth regular Sunday programming.  Rather, we encourage our families to attend worship with us together! At these 10 am services, there is a children's message and activity at the front, kids’ worship bags, and children's bulletins to help keep kids of all ages engaged in worship in their own way! Childcare is available every Sunday in the nursery for ages 3 and under.

Children of ALL ages are welcome in the Sanctuary (or other worship space) during ANY service time!

Next Family Worship: November 2, 2025
