Front Street United Methodist Church: Children's Ministries

Children's Ministry at Front Street

At Front Street United Methodist Church, we are committed to offering ministries that are appropriate to the physical, social, and spiritual growth of each child. We seek to offer children a loving environment that teaches the Word of God and gives them the opportunity to grow, play, and learn together as God's children.

Below are some of the opportunities available at Front Street UMC.

Elementary Sunday School: Deep Blue

Elementary Sunday School is for children Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. The curriculum we use, Deep Blue, helps children disccover what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ today. Children develop the skills to unlock the Bible message and come to know the wonders of God’s love. Children gather in self-contained classes by age group; K-1, 2-3, 4-5.

Sunday School classes begin at 9:45 a.m. and take place on the 3rd floor.

Children's Church

Children participate with their parents in the first portion of the 11:00 AM worship service. Following the Time with Younger Disciples, children 4 years old through First Grade depart for Children's Church - a time for them to learn, through activities and lessons, about the experience of worship and prepare them for participating fully in our worship services.
