Being a kid – and raising kids – is hard. We believe that all children should have a place where they can belong and be loved for who they are. We seek to support families in the most important work there is: raising healthy, resilient, compassionate children grounded in the love and peace of God.
Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School meets every Sunday from 10-10:50AM. Because we value intergenerational ministry, our Sunday School groups are led by parents and other volunteers, so all our church’s children know adults in the church who are cheering for them.
Child Care
Every Sunday morning from 8:45AM-12:15PM, child care is provided for children newborn through 4 years of age in the Nursery and Toddler Rooms on the main floor of the Education Wing. Our nursery coordinator and attendants are experienced, background checked, and first aid certified. We will ask parents to leave cell phone numbers with us so that we can call if your children need you.
Volunteer
We are committed to keeping our children and youth safe. All our volunteers and staff must be involved with the church for six months before serving with children or youth. All staff and youth volunteers go through training and annual background checks, and no child is ever alone with an adult volunteer or staff member. All Children in our care on Sunday mornings check in and will only be released to the adult who brought them or to another adult their parent or guardian designates.
For those who would like to volunteer with our Children’s or Nursery Ministry please email bcrabbs@uparkumc.org for more information and training.
