CHILDREN MINISTRY
At FUMC, we cherish the joy, wonder, and holy energy that children bring into our church family. Their laughter fills our halls with life, and their curiosity reminds us of the beauty of a faith that is growing and open. Jesus invites us to welcome the little children with open arms and to see their trust, honesty, and enthusiasm as a model for our own walk with God. When we nurture children, we are not only shaping their faith - we are allowing their faith to shape us, calling us back to the simple, joyful, wholehearted love that Jesus celebrates.
Sunday Mornings
The Nursery serves children ages birth-3 years of age, so parents can rest easy during Sunday School and Worship.
Sunday School is a fun time for children in PreK-4 through 5th grade to grow in their faith through engaging Bible-related activities, small group connections, and prayer. Faith formation activities are age appropriate and designed to help children grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Children's Church is a time for children experience age-appropriate worship through Bible stories and exciting worship songs while their parents worship in The Sanctuary.

Rooted Kids
Children Pre‑K through 5th grade are invited to join us on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, February 11th–May 27th, 2026 from 5:30–6:30pm at The Table for our new discipleship program: ROOTED Kids.
Inspired by the Mustard Seed parable (Matthew 13:31–32), ROOTED Kids helps children grow strong in faith—one small seed at a time.
Throughout the program, children will explore:
-
Loving Thy Neighbor (Wednesdays, Feb 11th & 25th)
-
Forgiveness & Mercy (Wednesdays, March 11th & 25th)
-
Resurrection & Hope (Wednesdays, April 8th & 22nd)
-
Growing in Faith (Wednesday, May 13th & 27th)
Children can earn sticker badges as they learn scripture—whether by reciting the verse or sharing what the scripture means to them.
ROOTED Kids is designed for ALL children, including those with diverse learning needs. We celebrate that every child learns differently, and we honor each child’s unique way of growing in God’s love.
Our children are small seeds, growing strong roots, and living with BIG faith.
