CHILDREN & YOUTH MINISTRY
At Faith UMC, we’re excited to welcome children and youth of all ages with open arms! Come hang out with us after school for some fun, tasty snacks, and special moments with God. We can’t wait for you to join in on our awesome Sunday School, Confirmation Classes, Summer Day Camps, Family Game Nights, and Movie Nights—there’s plenty of excitement waiting for everyone!
Sunday School
Sunday School meets every Sunday from 10:15–11:15 AM and is open to students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. We offer two age-based groups: Kindergarten–4th Grade and 5th–12th Grade

Each Sunday, everyone begins together in the Youth Room on the lower level, then breaks into their age groups for lessons and discussion designed just for them. Sunday School is a great place to learn about God, build friendships, and grow in faith in a welcoming and supportive environment. All students are welcome to join us!

Wacky Wednesdays meets weekly after school from 3:30 until 5:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall and is open to all children, Kindergarten through 8th grade! Kids can look forward to an afternoon full of:

Snacks - Games - Crafts - God time

It’s a fun, safe place to laugh, learn, and grow in faith. Come ready for a wacky good time—everyone is welcome!

Girls’ Group
Girls in 7th–12th grade are invited to Girls Group, meeting in the Fellowship Hall every Thursday from 3:00–5:00 PM. This is a laid-back space to hang out after school, enjoy snacks, talk about real life, and spend time with God—no pressure, just real connection.

Some weeks, we’ll switch things up and meet at Starbucks for a fun offsite hangout. Come as you are. Bring a friend. We’d love to have you!
Play Group
Play Group is currently on break.

When in session, Play Group is a fun and relaxed time for children, infants through Kindergarten, and their parents or caregivers. We meet on Thursdays from 9:30–11:00 AM in the Child Care Room on the first floor of the church. Play Group is a great place for little ones to play, explore, and make friends—while adults connect and enjoy community too.

Come join the fun—no registration needed, just drop in and play!
Lego Club
Join us on the first Saturday of every month from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. The LEGO Club is open to students of all ages who love to build, create, and explore. Each month, we gather in our dedicated LEGO Room for an hour of hands-on fun, creativity, and connection.

There are no instructions and no limits—just bins of LEGO bricks and the freedom to build whatever you can imagine. Whether you’re designing towering cities, wild inventions, or something totally unexpected, this is your space to create.
And yes—donuts are included.
