Children's Ministries

Children are the focus of church life at St. Paul's. We do not believe that the children are the future of our church...we believe that children are the present reality of the church.

Children are always welcome in worship. We encourage adults to keep their children with them during worship so that families and friends from all generations might worship together. When you "come for two" -- come for two hours on Sunday morning -- attending both worship and a class for spiritual growth and nurture, children are given the opportunity to worship and adults are given the opportunity to attend a small group for their own growth. Click here to check out our adult spiritual growth opportunities.

We offer fully graded Sunday school classes at both the 9:30 and 11:00 hours on Sunday mornings and children's church as a part of Breakaway on Sunday nights.

Children's Ministry Policies and Procedures
In an effort to maintain and provide a safe, loving environment for all children participating in activities on our campus here at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, we have decided to begin conducting background checks on all of our employees and volunteers who work with children. In addition, each classroom will be staffed with 2 adults or 1 adult and a youth helper. All classrooms will be clearly visible from the outside (blinds will not be present or closed). The Director or an assistant will monitor classroom activities periodically and randomly while classes are in session. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these policies, please contact Angie McCarty at 296-6149 or amccarty@qwestoffice.net
