Children’s Ministry
Sunday School - KidVenture!
Begins September 13 at 10:30 a.m.
If you liked the VBS workshops, you will love this! We will begin KidVenture! (Sunday School) on September 13th during the 10:30 service. There will be WEEKLY REGISTRATION. Pre-registered children will be met at the Education Wing entrance of the parking lot, where temperatures will be checked. After checking your child in, parents will then be directed to enter through the Main Entrance for 10:30 a.m. worship. Following worship, children will be excused through the same parking lot door of the Education Wing. In other words, the Education Entrance will be used exclusively by the children to check in and be excused, with parents entering and exiting through the Main Entrance.
Class will be limited so pre-registration is a must! Please understand that additional children will not be added the day of the class. We want to do our best to keep the children safe in the building.
See the table in the Rotunda for registration opportunities and information. Let's get the kids back into KidVenture! to learn how God’s presence in their life is a lifelong adventure!

Nursery
Our nursery is currently CLOSED due to the pandemic.
Confirmation
Youth in the 6th through 8th grades are invited to participate in confirmation class.
Confirmation classes using We Believe curriculum provide a great opportunity to give students a broad view of basic Christian beliefs including the characteristics of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the importance and nature of the Bible; the need to trust in Jesus Christ for salvation; and the significance of the church.
We Believe also includes topics such as general church history and the responsibilities of discipleship and church membership. It offers students a basic but thorough understanding of what it means to be a Christian in the United Methodist tradition.–from Bristol House, Ltd.
