Sunday Programs

Here at First Methodist, we provide a variety of programs for children on Sundays. 


Infant/Toddler Nursery (ages 0-3)

Safe and loving care is provided for babies and children from 0-4 years old during all Sunday Worship Services, Adult Sunday School, and Wednesday night activities. 


Sunday School (ages 4 years-5th grade)

Fun and exciting classes are offered for all children from ages 4 -5th grade. Classes are broken up by age and meet on the 3rd floor of the Education Building. 


Children’s Church (ages 4 years-5th grade)

Children's Church is available during the 11am Bridge Worship Service each Sunday, except for Communion Sunday (first service of each month). 


Children are dismissed during the service and led to Youth Hall. Children engage in worship, crafts, Bible teaching, and games. Parents pick up their children after the service . 

Children's Day out

Children's Day Out  (CDO) is a Children's Ministry of First Methodist for ages 4 months to pre-school. It's MORE than a daycare. The purpose is two fold. We minister to parents, grandparents, and guardians by providing a "day out" and time of refreshment. We also minister to the family and their children by providing a happy, loving, and Christ-centered environment for the children. It is our goal for each child to increase in his or her knowledge of God, laying a foundation to live a life worthy of the Lord.
