Children's Ministry

At FUMCT, children are a vital part of our church family. We provide safe, age-appropriate spaces where kids grow in faith and friendship.

Newborn-Pre-K on Sunday

From infants through preschool, children are welcomed with love and care during both the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. worship services. During the 10:00 a.m. Sunday School hour, our Children’s Ministry team provides age-appropriate lessons, interactive Bible stories, and engaging activities designed to help young hearts grow in faith. Our Kids CareTeam members are Safe Sanctuary trained and CPR certified to ensure your children are loved, safe, and in helpful hands.

First-time families are invited to stop by the Children’s Check-In Desk located on the first floor near the Preschool Hall entrance to register their child and receive a secure name tag.

K-5th on Sunday

During both the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. worship services, children are invited to participate in a Children’s Moment before heading to FirstKIDS with our Children’s Ministry team. Kindergarten through 5th grade students enjoy engaging Bible lessons, large-group activities, games, and hands-on crafts designed specifically for their age and stage of faith development.

At 10:00 a.m., children gather in Sunday School small groups where they explore Scripture, ask meaningful questions, build friendships, and grow together in their faith journey.

Parents and guardians are asked to register their child at the Children’s Check-In Desk located at the entrance to the Elementary Hall on the second floor.

Midweek with FirstKIDS

Wednesday nights provide another opportunity for children to connect, grow, and build friendships. Following Wednesday Night Supper from 5:00–6:00 p.m., children gather in age-specific small groups from 6:00–7:00 p.m. for Bible lessons, engaging activities, meaningful discussions, and fellowship.

Children of all ages, from newborns through 5th grade, are welcome to participate in Wednesday evening programming as we learn, grow, and have fun together in a Christ-centered environment.
