Children's Ministries

At Saint Paul UMC, we believe children are special! We also believe that helping children develop a personal relationship with Christ is the most important thing we can do for them. We offer several opportunities each week for children to come to church and learn about God's love.

Sundays at Saint Paul

Rotation Sunday School

Take a "Journey with Saint Paul" in our Route 66 themed Sunday School classrooms! On Sunday mornings, our classes begin at 9:45 a.m. Help your children come to know the love of God through Jesus by making your Sunday school a place they want to be. Help them live out their belief in God in their everyday lives. Dream B.I.G. and bring it to life with Live B.I.G., a DVD-based Sunday school resource designed to excite and enrich your children's spiritual lives by bringing their everyday real world experience into Sunday school.Each week, kids experience the Biblical lesson in a way that encourages the development of faith and discipleship. Our teachers are committed Christians who love children and wish to help them along on their faith journey.

"Believe In God, believe also in me." (John 14:1)

Jonathan's Child Sunday School

This class is designed for children with special needs. We have a large carpeted area where the children will have their lesson led by a trained volunteer. There is a handicapped accessible restroom located in the classroom. Parents who wish to enjoy an adult Sunday School class while being able to keep an eye on their child will appreciate the adjoining classroom with a one-way window into the children's area. For more information call 268-7440 or email

Nursery

Our nursery is available each Sunday morning for infants and toddlers during the 8:50am and 10:50am worship service, as well as during Sunday School beginning at 9:45am. The nursery is located in the Little Saints Daycare Building. Each Sunday they will learn a different Bible story and have music time.

Acolytes

This wonderful ministry is open to all children 3rd - 6th grade. Acolytes serve during the 10:50am service. They represent bringing the Light of God for our worship, and the remind us that we are to take the Light of the world out with us as we go. Training is held once per semester. After completing the training session, your child will then have the opportunity to serve in the months to come.

WACKY WEDNESDAY

Children are studying the Friut of the Spirit!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
