Children's Ministry
Mission
To ensure each child is cared for and loved as Christ loves.
In our Children’s ministry, we strive to meet children with safe, engaging, and age-appropriate ways to get to know God through Bible stories, serving neighbors, and relationships with leaders who are walking their own paths with Christ. All programs and activities are open to the community.
We follow a Keeping Ministry Safe policy standard. All of our teachers, leaders, and volunteers have background checks and training to ensure they follow safe sanctuary practices.

Sunday Morning Worship
We invite you to join us on Sundays! Two different styles of worship services take place in our beautiful sanctuary. If you love to worship with a more informal spirit, then you will want to choose the 8:15 a.m. hour. If you love the wonders of a beautiful pipe organ and a Chancel choir, then 10:30 a.m. is your hour. Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m for ALL ages.
Holy Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month in both worship services. In the United Methodist Church, the Lord's Table is open to all. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request.
If you are not able to join us physically but would like to listen to us in your home or car, you can tune in on your radio to WKSR FM 100.9 at our 10:30 am worship or Facebook Live during the 8:15 am and 10:30 am worship service.
