Christian Education for Children

Faith United Methodist Church is committed to a vibrant Christian Education Ministry, grounded in God's Word, that permeates all aspects of life at Faith United Methodist Church and our lives as individual Christians.  Our goal is to educate members of all ages in the Christian faith for personal spiritual growth and renewal, and preparation for living lives as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Nursery in Room 106

You can feel comfortable that your infants and toddlers are in a safe and loving environment.  Our excellent caregiver plays with and cares for your children.

Preschool/Pre-K/Kindergarten (ages 3 to 5) in Room 102

What an imaginative group of children!  Each week the children hear, see, and interact with God's stories in the Bible that illustrate God's love to them.  The children engage the story through storytelling, art, games, sharing, and play.  We utilize The Beginner's Bible as the basis for our lessons and families are encouraged to share in the story at home.

1st, 2nd & 3rd Grade in Room 203

Imagination, independence, and caring for the world...at this age the children continue to build on who they are in God and begin to care about the world.  Each week the children hear, see, and interact with God's stories in the Bible showing them God's love and how they can make a difference in the world.  We utilize a teaching method called Godly Play, where stories are told using 3D elements that engage their minds, hearts, and imaginations.  Asking "I wonder..." questions, children ask themselves what God is saying to them and how to live as a community of faith.  They then respond to what God is doing with them through their own creativity.  In addition, third graders receive Bibles from Faith Church in September and we read from the Bible most weeks.

4th & 5th Grade in Room 210

Imagination, independence, caring for the world, and exploring their faith...at this age the children build on their Godly Play experiences and explore what it means to be a faith community. Some weeks we engage in spiritual disciplines such as worship and scriptural meditation.  They spend more time with the stories, going deeper in exploration, and may even journal.  We utilize a teaching method called Godly Play, where stories are told using 3D elements that engage their minds, hearts, and imaginations.  Asking "I wonder..." questions, children ask themselves what God is saying to them and how to live as a community of faith.  They then respond to what God is doing with them through their own creativity.
