Children are part of church life

Wonder and Worship

Children are welcomed into worship through stories, questions, participation, and age-appropriate activities during the service.

Make your family’s first Sunday simpler

Review the visit guide or send a question before you arrive. The church can help with practical details and accommodation needs.

Faith with imagination

Children can listen, wonder, ask, and participate

Wonder and Worship gives children a meaningful way to engage scripture and faith during the Worship Service.

Stories and activities are designed to invite curiosity rather than require children to sit silently or already understand church language.

Children also belong in the wider worshiping community through shared moments, questions, music, prayer, and the welcome of the congregation.

A welcoming approach for children

Children are welcomed into worship through stories, questions, participation, and age-appropriate activities during the service.

01

Stories that invite wonder

Biblical stories are shared in ways that encourage imagination, conversation, and growing understanding.

02

Active participation

Age-appropriate activities give children another way to explore the themes of worship.

03

Part of the congregation

Children are welcomed as participants in church life, not treated as an interruption to it.

04

Support for families

Parents and caregivers can contact the church before Sunday with questions or accommodation needs.

A place to grow

Welcoming children within the whole worshiping community

The goal is not a perfect first Sunday. The goal is to help children and their caregivers experience welcome, curiosity, and room to participate.

Children’s moments and shared participation

Children encounter stories, questions, and invitations to participate as part of the congregation’s Sunday worship.

Before you arrive

Ask what would help your family

If mobility, sensory, seating, communication, or another accommodation would make Sunday easier, contact the church so leaders can plan with you.
