Children’s and Youth Ministry Program

(Birth through 12th grade)

We are excited to invite children and youth to take an active part in the life of our church, where they can explore and share God's love alongside us.

During our worship service, we deliver a special message designed for children and youth in the sanctuary. Following that, they can participate in interactive Sunday School classes led by our caring staff and ministry volunteers. We also provide nursery care for infants up to age three, available from 9:30 to 11:30 on Sunday mornings.

Children and youth are always welcome to remain in service instead of attending Sunday School if that is your preference.

Busy bags and sensory aids, including weighted blankets and fidget spinners, are accessible in the quiet room located at the rear of the sanctuary.

Youth Ministry Program

(6th-12th grade)

On the first Sunday of each month, youth participate in the worship service by reading scripture and helping to serve communion. On all of the other Sundays, they may attend Sunday School following the Children’s and Youth Message.

Service Opportunities 

There are many ways you can use your gifts to support our programs, whether that be your time, donations, or something else entirely. If you are interested in serving, please contact our Director of Children’s and Youth Ministries, Lara Upton, at children@cvillefirstumc.org.
