At Lewis Center UMC, we seek to build Christ-centered families.
Our ministry to children and families is informed by four core values
Every kid matters
We strive to help both children and youth understand they are created and loved by God and lead them into a relationship with their Creator.
Every family matters
We recognize that every family – no matter what it looks like – has great potential to reflect God’s love to the world.
What happens in the home matters
Faith is learned primarily in the home, so we seek to equip parents and grandparents to be their families’ spiritual leaders.
What happens around the family matters
We seek to surround families with a loving, supportive community that is fundamental for raising up spiritually healthy kids.
SUNDAY MORNING CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES
During the 10:30 service, we offer a full slate of children’s classes. No matter your child’s age, he or she will experience God’s love and hear God’s Word in a safe, loving and encouraging environment. Each of our leaders has been trained and screened to work with your child.
Nursery Ministry
Loving care for infants and toddlers is available in our nursery located in the East Wing.
LI'L KID CONNECTION
Li'l Kid Connection offers children ages 3 through kindergarten an age appropriate worship experience each week, as well as hands-on activities designed to reinforce the week's lesson. Li'l Kid Connection meets in the preschool facility on the west side of campus.
KID CONNECTION
Kid Connection, our program for grades one through five, offers a large group, kid-friendly worship experience in addition to small group activities each week. Kid Connection meets in the east wing.
KIDS' CHOIR
Elementary-school Children are invited to participate in a seasonal children's choir, which rehearses on Sunday mornings.
