Kids In Our Community

    Partnering with parents to develop the next generation of faith.


    “‘… with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39

    Children’s Ministry at Saint Andrew

    Where kids are known, loved, and grow in faith.


    At the Church of Saint Andrew, we believe children belong in worship—and we’re also passionate about creating a space just for them. Each Sunday, kids join their families in the beginning of our service, participating in the opening hymns, greeting time, and a special children’s moment. Our whole church family begins worship together, before kids head off to age-appropriate Sunday School classes for the rest of the service.

    What We Offer

    We offer three Sunday morning groups every week.


    Nursery (Ages 0-3)

    A safe and welcoming space for our youngest ones, staffed by caring volunteers who make sure each child feels secure and loved.

    Resources

    Little Kids (Age 4 to 2nd Grade)

    Kids enjoy crafts, a short Bible video, and storytelling that helps them discover who God is and how much they are loved.


    Resources

    Big Kids (3rd Grade and up)

    In our Big Kids group, children grow in faith, explore scripture, and learn to live like Jesus. They’re encouraged to ask questions, serve others, and find where they belong—whether through tech, mentoring, or worship.

    Our dedicated volunteers build meaningful relationships with each child. With small group sizes and a family-like atmosphere, your kids will be known by name and feel right at home in our church community.

    We take safety seriously. All volunteers are trained and background-checked under the United Methodist Church’s Safe Sanctuaries guidelines.
