Jesus said,
"Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
Our children’s ministries seek to capture children and families in our church
and in our community with love, to help them find God, to understand his love for them
and to mentor new disciples for Jesus Christ.

Vacation Bible School
July 10-13
9am - 12 noon
"Food Truck Party" VBS invites children 3 years through 5th grade to get on a roll with God as a parade of Food Trucks rolls into FUMC for the summer's biggest party!
We invite children to pray as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:11; "Give us this day our daily bread." These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God — and that it's by turning to God in prayer that all of our daily needs are met.

ACOLYTES
Our acolyte program is open to all children 3rd through 5th grades during the 10:40am traditional worship service.
The program was created to give children an active role in worship. Normally the acolyte serves by lighting and extinguishing the candles on the communion or altar table and distributing and collecting the offering plates. At the discretion of the pastor, the acolyte may also assist in other portions of the worship service.

Dinner church
The simple explanation is that it’s church, but over dinner. What seems like a radical departure from tradition is actually a return to our Christian roots.
