Welcome to St. Paul's Children's & Family Ministries
The Children’s and Family Ministries are a collection of opportunities for families with children in 5th grade and younger.
At St. Paul’s we believe that helping our children to grow in faith involves everyone. Our young people hear the story of what Christ has done in adults’ lives so that they may catch faith. At the same time, adults hear faith stories from our youngest members so that they, too, might grow in faith. We intentionally create opportunities to learn from each other in all that we do.
Serving and Learning
Additionally, children are also allowed to lead. You will often see children ushering with a parent or grandparent. Children read scripture in worship and help with prayers. We believe that serving is just as important as learning in the classroom. All aspects help children to grow in faith.
Sunday School
Children’s and Family Ministries include:
Sunday mornings 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m during the school year., for 3-year-olds through 5th graders.

Milestones Ministry

Kids and parents meet throughout the school year to learn about specific topics such as the Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments, or How to Read the Bible. Congregational gatherings might include everyone gathering to learn about Lent or praying together at home.
