Children's Ministries
Bringing children to God,
Growing children of God,
Sending children for God.

At CSUMC, we are dedicated to growing children in the Christian faith. We believe all children are a gift from God and our programs are designed to offer each child a place to belong and grow in faith and fellowship. Children are an important part of our church community with opportunities for each child to be involved in Christian education, worship, mission, fellowship, stewardship and music.

Education
Teaching children about the Christian faith is a vital and exciting part of our ministry. our two-year-old through fifth grade classes are found in the first floor children's wing from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. every Sunday. In addition to Sunday School, we encourage all children to participate in:

Vacation Bible School (June)
Wednesday night programs
Monthly Sunday School music

Worship
Participation with the church body in worship is an important part of a child's faith journey. Children are invited to attend worship and join inthe weekly Children's Message. Following the message an extended session is available for children (infant - kindergarten) in the children's Sunday School wing. There are several opportunites available throughout the year for children to play an active role during the worship service:

Children's Sabbath
Christmas tree and nativity service
Palm Sunday and Easter processionals
Scout Sundays

Mission
At CSUMC, children are taught to be God's hands and feet in service and outreach to our community both locally and around the world. Through a variety of projects such as UNICEP, Heifer, and the local Rescue Mission, our children actively particpate in serving the needs of other while learning valuable lessons about sharing and helping as they grow in the Christian faith.

Music
The children's choir meets on Wednesday evenings as part of our mid-week program to children and families. Children of all ages are welcome to make a joyful noise and grow in faith through worship with music. The music groups regularly participate in worship services.

CSUMC offers:

A fully staffed nursery during Sunday School and all three Sunday morning worship services for infants and toddlers
Preschool and Mother's day out classes during the school year for infants through age five
A variety of children's programs in church-wide events
