CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
For infants to 5th grade
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for
the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Mark 10:14
Our Priority
Our priority for children is to provide the opportunity to grow closer to Jesus in a loving, safe and secure environment. Children are valued as active and vital participants in the life of our church family. The programs we offer are created to make a lasting impact in their day-to-day lives, even from a child’s earliest years.

On Sunday Mornings
All ages and classes will explore the same Bible story each Sunday morning.
3 & UNDER
Nursery open 8:55am-12pm
4-YEAR OLDS TO 5TH GRADE
—9am/11am KIDS WORSHIP (Sanctuary til Kids Time, then to Kids Ctr/PR Chapel, return for Communion with parents)
—10am BIBLE CLASS (Kids Ctr, Rm 8)
If you prefer your kids stay in "big" Worship with you, we offer a couple of options…
—WORSHIP BAGS Located in the foyer, featuring paper, crayons, and fidget busters to keep little hands occupied. Please return at the end of Worship for other children to use.
—PRAYGROUND This space in the front of the Sanctuary is intended especially for families with infants and toddlers, recognizing that small kids are often more engaged when they can see what’s going on. Small tables and chairs, baby swings and seats, and soft toys help keep our littlest community members occupied.

At LTUMC, nothing is more important to us than the safety and security of your children. We’ve chosen KidCheck to bring you the best check-in experience and allow us to partner with you to keep your children safe. Prior to your first visit, you can

Big Faith invites children to explore their faith in the context of their everyday lives. Within each session, children will be introduced to a faith concept; will explore a Bible story together through storytelling and video; will participate in age-appropriate, hands-on activities; and will reflect on and share what they have learned with one another.
Big Faith helps children discover how their faith can grow into an integral part of their everyday lives. This curriculum honors children as naturally curious and spiritual beings, with an innate sense of God’s presence. Through timeless Bible stories, hands-on activities, and child-friendly themes, Big Faith helps children discover, develop, and practice their faith in a trusted community.
