Youth Fellowship
Each Wednesday evening during fall & winter, our students meet beginning with an opportunity to hang out with friends and then shifts into a time of worship, games, and relevant teaching of God’s Word, planned specifically towards their age group and designed to help them apply truth as they cope with real life issues.
Worship Bags
We love having kids in worship with us on Sunday mornings! However, we also understand that sometimes their attention spans are limited and can’t handle a full hour of quiet, focused time! For this reason, we provide children’s worship bags complete with paper, crayons, pencils and children’s books. Please feel free to pick up one of these blue bags located just inside the main church entrance on the right – and return after the service. Who knows, your child may take some great notes and draw some relevant images that connect beautifully to what they have learned and experienced through worship.
Nursery
We offer a Nursery for Infants through age four. Nursery care is available during Sunday school and worship. For children who are not yet ready to participate in the full worship service, the nursery leaders will bring children into the sanctuary on Sunday mornings for the children’s message and for Holy Communion. This allows even our youngest congregants to participate in the worship service on a regular basis.
Confirmation
Beginning in the 6th grade, students are invited to learn more about the promises made at their baptism, the church they attend and their relationship with Jesus through a weekly confirmation classes. These classes provide a time for students to spend with a mentor and the pastor exploring their Christian roots. As they complete confirmation, they are invited to confirm the vows made at their baptism and become members of the church
Safe Sanctuaries
To ensure the utmost safety of our young people, ALL of our nursery and Sunday school and youth workers have completed a national criminal background check and have been trained in Safe Sanctuaries’ procedures. www.umcsc.org/home/resources/safe-santuaries.
Adult Choir
Our adult choir includes a group of inspired individuals with a wide range of musical skills and experience. Anyone willing to make a joyful noise and praise God is welcome to join. The choir provides music for our service on Sunday as well as special occasions during Christmas and Easter. The choir practices on Sunday morning at 9:15.
