Children's Ministry

First UMC offers programs for kids who are 6 weeks old through 5th grade. Your children will be in a safe and fun environment with staff and volunteers that can't wait to share the stories of our faith with your kids.

Through out the school year and summer we also host Mission Days for kids, field trips, and fun annual events for families, like our annual Pumpkin Party.

Each year, First Kids hosts a Vacation Bible School for our church kids and the community. Our VBS is organized around small group learning. Each day kids have time in their own classrooms, learning about God, and building relationships with our awesome volunteers and kids their age. We have an original theme and program every year!
