“Sunday School” During the Sunday school hour (10:00am - 11:00am), our children work on Service Projects to help show others the love of Jesus. These projects range from simple services within the church to outings throughout the community. The goal of this project learning, is to teach our children to be the hands of Christ by loving others and helping those who need it most.
“Children's Church" During the 9:00 church hour, the children leave "big church" to have church of their own. During this time, they study stories and morals from the bible, as well as church traditions and why we continue to honor them. It is during this time that our little ones dive into the word of God, and why Jesus is such an important part of our lives.
"Wonderful Wednesdays" Wonderful Wednesdays are an opportunity for the children of the church and community to come and play, worship, and build community with one another. Wonderful Wednesday's consist of snack, outside play, music, bible lesson and craft. It is a fun time for all. For more information on how to get you child involed or on how you can volunteer please contact Megan Watson (Director of Children's Ministry at TFUMC).
