FUMCAH KIDS

We offer dynamic, year-round care, and faith formation for children and youth, from birth through 7th grade. All KICH classes are held during the 9:30 AM church service, following our “Wild Time” in worship.

Nursery and Toddler Care

Loving care is provided in the church nursery each Sunday for your littlest ones. (Age 0-2)

PreK and Kindergarten (The Meadow)

Kids love to FROLIC. And in The Meadow, that’s what they get to do! The Meadow is our language for the spiritual space we provide for young kids - a safe, cheery world where their imagination can flourish. Children who are at least 2 years old by September 1 each year are invited to be led to their classroom after the “Wild Time” in gathered worship.

Grades 1-5 (The Wilds)

Welcome to The Wilds! A more expansive space of spiritual discovery. Using Grow Kids curriculum, children engage in games, thoughtful discussion, video, and craftivities to dig deeper into 4 key pillars of our faith: time with God, time with others, using our gifts, and sharing our story.

JrHI (The Rapids)

As children morph into youth, their questions and interests naturally change. Here we begin to explore the formation of identity and character in our excavation of the Biblical story - finding our place in and alongside it.

Our amped-up mid-week program for kids and their families! You can expect spiritual formation through worship and small groups, kids’ choirs and other worship arts classes, cooking, sports, dance, and art electives, and a community dinner that is open to all!

Cost to register is $50 per child for the whole year. Scholarships are available!

Night Out With Loving Sitters
usually on the second Saturday of each month, September through May.

Night OWLS is a monthly recreational program for children with disabilities and their siblings. Each special needs child has an adult buddy; additional volunteers (youth and adults) help with programming for siblings.

VBS is a week-long children’s camp-like extravaganza we throw every summer! The atmosphere is immersive and engaging, giving children the opportunity to make friends and learn about God’s grace and love in exciting ways.

FUMCAH knows that children learn in many ways, so we use art, recreation, science, & music in large and small groups to help children explore the goodness of God.

For all kids age 3 - 4th grade (completed)

Faith is caught as much as taught.

Children learn the importance of faith by participating alongside adults. Youth who are a full part of the life of a church are more likely to participate in a faith community as adults. And mutually, adults encounter faith in fresh ways when they witness the example of children.

We believe in this reciprocity and are always looking for meaningful ways to bring the generations together as the diverse and lovely body of Christ.
