Children and Family Ministries

At Kid’s Jam (Jesus & Me), your child(ren) will find numerous activities to learn, grow, and thrive within our faith community. From igniting creativity to contributing to the community, there is something for everyone.

Sunday School

Sunday School is available Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:30am. Young people of all ages will learn lessons that coordinate with the passages found in worship. Preregistration is not needed, but the family information form helps us communicate with you and plan. 

Family Information Form

Children’s Church

Children’s Church is held on Sunday mornings during our 8:30 a.m. worship services September through May. In Children’s Church, kids aged 3 years to 2nd grade meet in our nursery following the children’s sermon. We read a story, do a craft, play games and learn about God’s love.

Please note: We do not offer children’s church the first Sunday of the month. This weekend is set aside for families to worship together and to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion as a family.

Vacation Bible School

Compassion Camp 2024 is in the books. Thanks for a great year!

Please watch for more information in the spring about VBS 2025.

Summer Children’s Church

Summer Children’s Church is offered during both summer weekend worship services for children age 3 to 2nd grade. We DO NOT have children’s church the first weekend of the month so that families can worship together and have communion.

Children’s Christmas Program

Each year the children of our church family share a Christmas story in a fun memorable way. Please watch for more information in later fall about ways children can participate in this opportunity. 

Club 3,4,5

Club 3,4,5 is a special program designed for our 3rd,4th and 5th grade friends to begin to experience a little bit of what youth group is like. 3rd, 4th and 5th graders will play games, try activities and eat snack as we explore the church and our faith in a new way. Pre-registration is not needed, but the family information form helps us communicate with you and plan.
