But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
Matthew 19: 14
Our children’s ministry helps establish a spiritual foundation for youngsters aged 5 to 15, through Sunday school activities, participation in age-appropriate service opportunities, and fun faith-based events.
Newcomers are ALWAYS welcomed!
Weekly Sunday School:
Each week, children attend worship at 10:00am. Shortly into the service, they are invited to the alter to join Pastor for a “children’s moment.” After that, children are invited to attend Sunday School in our Education classrooms. Classes are led by loving volunteer Sunday School teachers who share scripture, Bible stories and parables and prayer in engaging age-appropriate lessons.
Vacation Bible School (Summer)
Held in evenings during a week each summer, Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a week-long program of religious education which may employ Bible stories, religious songs, arts and crafts, skits, or puppet shows—and, always includes summer fun activities. The program is for elementary school-aged children. For more information on VBS, click/touch HERE.
Rally Day (Fall)
A church-wide event, we include a simple take-home craft for children (including homemade play dough). The event often has bouncy houses, pop-up tents for activities, music, a bubble machine, and snacks. The event also includes information and a 10–minute orientation to discuss our curriculum for Sunday School with new and returning families, and we encourage adults to volunteer for upcoming activities.
Trunk & Treat
A wonderful opportunity for safe ”treating.” Each car is decorated and provides treats by the family participating.
The Children’s Ministries are a vital and valued aspect of PUMC. We hope to become a church family together and raise children up with the love of Jesus Christ that will endure throughout their lives.
Newcomers are always welcome!
