Children & Youth Ministry Overview

The United Methodist Church of Geneva is dedicated to nurturing the spiritual growth and well-being of children and youth through engaging programs and meaningful ministries. From Sunday school and interactive worship experiences to youth groups and service projects, the church creates a welcoming space where young people can explore their faith, build lasting friendships, and develop a strong  spiritual foundation  By combining education, mentorship, and community, the church empowers children and youth to grow in their relationship with God and make a positive impact in the world around them

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

Please register your kids for Sunday School Here.

9:00 am Sundays

  • Infants through toddlers are cared for in the nursery.
  • Preschool: 3 year-olds (3 years old by Sept. 1) through 5th grade participate in First Steps in Faith, a creative and imaginative approach to teaching the stories of God’s people. Using a rotation model that includes activities like science, art, games and cooking, First Steps in Faith connects biblical stories with the child’s own experience and encourages curiosity and imagination as we discover the mystery and joy of God.
  • Preschool-aged children through first grade attend the beginning of worship with their family and following Words for Children, are dismissed as a group to go to First Steps in Faith.

Our little ones are cared for by nurturing adults and youth who provide a warm and comforting experience. You will be asked to sign in when you drop off and pick up your child. Submitting a Children’s Ministry registration form will give us additional information about your child and enable us to better care for him or her.
