At UMCE, kids are an important part of our church family. Their questions, their curiosity, their energy, and their big feelings make our community better!
Everkids is our Sunday morning ministry where children can learn about God's love, make friends, ask questions, and discover what it means to love God and love people.
Our Nursery is a safe, caring space where our youngest disciples can play, explore, and be loved by our dedicated nursery staff and volunteers.
While you're enjoying worship, your little one will be in good hands with people who are excited to get to know them.
Faith begins with curiosity!
In Everkids Sunday School, children explore Bible stories through hands-on learning, play, questions, discoveries, and age-appropriate activities.
Each week includes a combination of story-telling, conversation, crafts, games, and opportunities to practice loving God and loving people.
If your child will be joining our Nursery or Sunday School, one of our Everkids Team Members (Luca, Ali, or Maddie) will be standing in the lobby to check you in when you arrive. Look for the person in the tie-dye Everkids shirt with the tablet.
If it's your first Sunday, we'll ask you to answer a few quick questions so we can get to know your family and care for your child.
Kids begin worship with their families at 10 AM. Following our Children's Moment in worship, they're invited to head to their age-appropriate grounds with our Everkids team.
Nursery: Located on the lower level of the church, the nursery is a newly renovated, welcoming space for infants and toddlers.
Sunday School: The Everkids Room is located on the main level of the church. Our newly renovated kids space is the perfect place for worship, learning, play, and creativity.
After worship, you can pick up your child and sign them out in the Everkids Room or the Nursery.
Kids are always welcome to stay in the sanctuary with their families.
Our PrayGround is a special place where younger children can worship their way - with coloring, books, and quiet activities.
We also have Busy Bags available for children who prefer to stay with their families in the pews.
And if your little one needs some room to wiggle or wander, you're welcome to step into the Fellowship Hall, where the worship service is streamed live on the screen.
However your family chooses to worship, we're glad you're here!
Our Everkids Team is here to help you and your family settle in on your first time at UMCE.
When you arrive, look for one of our team members in their tye-die Everkids shirt. They'll help you check in, show you where everything is, and answer any questions you ahve.
You're welcome to come a few minutes early to get settled. And if your child needs a little extra time to feel comfortable, that's perfectly okay.
What we want most is for Sunday mornings to be a great experience for your whole family.
We want every child to feel safe, valued, and cared for at UMCE.
All Everkids staff and volunteers 16 years old and older complete background checks, and all staff and volunteers receive regular training. Our children's ministry follows UMCE's Safe Environment policy.
Our check-in and check-out procedures help us make sure children are cared for and released safely to their families.
