Children And Youth


Children
Youth Activities are an important part of the ministry of our church family. We offer events that will stimulate both individual Spiritual growth and community involvement. Included among these events are study of the Bible, reaching out to others, mission trips, and outright fun activities. Join us Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, and other various times, to see what a difference Christ can make in your life!


Good News Bearers
Good News Bearers is a Wednesday afternoon children's ministry for grades 1-5, that teaches children the value of faith through biblically based skits and dramas.
This group meets each Wednesday of the month during the school year except for the first Wednesday. It begins at 2:30 pm, concluding at 4:00 pm in the church gym.
The Good News Bearers group fosters friendships between the children while strengthening their biblical knowledge through the Good News Bearers Reading Program, the Bible Trivia Bowl and through acting out biblical dramas.

Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is held at the beginning of the summer. It includes children up to 5th grade. Our theme last year was Avalanche Ranch. We always have a super time at VBS! We start the evening with a provided meal and it gets better from there!

3rd Grade Bibles
3rd Grade Bibles are presented to third grade students in September and are then used throughout the year in Sunday School as they learn how to use their own Bible.


Nursery
We offer nursery care during the Sunday school hour so that parents can attend an adult Sunday school class or teach in our Sunday school program.


Youth
United Methodist Youth Fellowship
Jr. and Sr. UMYF (our Methodist Fellowship groups) meet on Sunday afternoon and evening. There the kids enjoy the fellowship of their friends while doing fun and activities and also service projects.

Youth Bells
Youth bell ringing is a wonderful opportunity for youth to experience God through music. There is no musical experience required to start playing!
