Kids’ Ministries 

Kids are always welcome during worship! We have a special space for them near the front of the sanctuary, and we also offer age appropriate children’s ministry in the Nursery and Kids’ Connection spaces. We use Celebrate Wonder, a Cokesbury curriculum, that engages children’s natural sense of curiosity to help them understand God’s love. It creates a safe environment for kids to ask big questions, helping them explore the Bible in ways that feed their imagination and encourages creativity.

Sign-in & Name tags

All children (nursery – 6th grade) are asked to sign in at one of our Kids’ Connection iPads located in the lobby and on the lower level by the nursery. You’ll receive a two-part name tag, one for your child to wear and one for the adult responsible for pick up.

Nursery: Infants – Pre-K
  • Available 10 minutes before each service on Sundays (9am Contemporary, 11am Traditional)
Kids’ Connection: Kindergarten – 6th Grade
  • During 9 & 11am worship services
KIDS456: incoming 4th-6th Grade

We typically meet on the first and third Sundays of each month, 4-5:30pm at church (unless otherwise indicated – check the calendar for updates). Weather permitting we’ll spend time outdoors, so be sure to dress appropriately for that. We can’t wait to see you at our next one! Contact Pastor Jessica Richard for more info.

Kids’ Day 2024

Mark your calendar and register today for this year’s Kids’ Day celebration – Lights, Camera, Action! Those who register by July 21 will earn a free, family gift. 

We can’t wait to share it with you on Sunday, August 11, 4pm-7pm at St. Paul’s. We’ll be indoors and out with activities for all ages including a foam pit, crafts, games, Bible stories, music, and dinner! If you are interested in volunteering, sign up here. Kids’ Day is for everyone, so invite your friends and neighbors and make a plan to join us!
