children’s ministry

The Children’s Ministry program at Stewartville United Methodist Church

is a place for kids in Preschool through 4th grade to grow in their faith, 

make intergenerational connections, and experience God’s love through

crafts, stories, songs and games, learning about our faith has never been so much fun!

  • Sunday School

    Kid’s MIN is an energetic, fun-filled place!  Each week, kids age 3-10 explore their faith through Bible stories and verses, crafts and games, and interaction with caring adults and youth helpers.

    Register here for Children's Ministry classes!

  • Children’s Choir

    Kid’s Choir at SUMC is always making a joyful noise!  Typically performing during the worship service once per month, the Kid’s Choir also presents a lively Christmas program, shares holiday carols with the community, and learns a variety of kid-friendly worship songs throughout the year.

  • Vacation bible school & Youth Ministry retreat
