Children (Kindergarten to 5th Grade)
Pre-K Class experiences "I Live Big" for children ages 3 years-Pre-K.
Children in Kindergarten through Fifth grades can come and experience a Bible story each week in the Bible Zone. This is a rotation model Sunday School where children can select experiential zones to reinforce the Bible story each week.
Zones include: drama, cooking, puppets, crafts, music, library, and much more! Each week the children journey in the Bible Zone in support of their call to be disciples of Jesus. The church offers the Children's Sabbath each year where the children plan and lead worship in our Sanctuary. Children receive Bibles in third grade as a gift from the church and are invited to acolyte for worship, also!
Union Avenue UMC values children as a "Safe Sanctuary" church offering the utmost security and safety of our children!
