Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Children's Nursery & Sunday School
We offer a fun, faith-filled time for our children each Sunday morning. Bring your children to the Upper Room before 10:00 a.m. worship. They will meet new friends, engage in age-appropriate activities, and enjoy a snack. We bring your children down to the church in time to receive Communion with their family.
Tell me more about Sunday lessons for children. . .
Messiah’s Sunday School offers children a welcoming and faith-filled environment where they can grow in their understanding of God’s Word through engaging, age-appropriate lessons. Each week, the curriculum is adapted to meet the interests and needs of the children while encouraging creativity, curiosity, and spiritual growth.
A sample lesson:
Learning about sharing the love of Jesus with others.
The children decorated their very own shirts with colorful handprints, crosses, hearts, and the words "I love JESUS" as a reminder that we can carry God's love with us wherever we go. Through this fun activity, we talked about how our words, actions, and kindness can help us share the Gospel with the people around us. Each shirt is a little expression of their faith and a reminder to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." -Mark 16:15.
Wear your faith. Share His love. Spread the Gospel.

Our Parents & Grandparents Comments
When my granddaughter would come to visit for the weekend, she had fun doing the crafts, and looked forward to showing them to her mother. She also liked coming into the service for communion & the blessing. I think she liked that people at Messiah knew her and said hello.
We are so blessed as a parish to have such a wonderful children's ministry during our Sunday service. Each week the kids do amazing projects. As parents of two boys, we know they are developing a real love of Jesus. Our youngest members are growing in their love and knowledge of the Lord.
A loving young mother provides
age-appropriate activities in a safe environment.
