"You are a Blessing and a Child of God!"

Children are an important part of our worship community, and our congregation takes seriously our baptismal vows to help our children to grow in their faith as disciples of Jesus the Christ. 

Our children's ministry seeks to nurture the faith lives of our children through:

• Sunday School (9:45 on Sunday mornings; come to the Children's Choir Room, which is located in the middle of the hallway on the second floor on in the west building. Take the stairs that are near the west entrance.) 
  
• Children's and Jr. Choirs (K-6) 
  
• Vacation Bible School
  
• Fellowship and Discipleship Ministries

The programs and ministries for children at AHUMC are designed and provided for the purpose of helping our children grow in their faith as disciples of Jesus the Christ, build community, and provide a firm foundation of faith that will support them throughout their lives. 

Children's Director: Linda Nevitt (lnevitt@ahumc.com; 817.737.3161)

Our youngest children receive excellent care from our loving caregivers during Sunday mornings and selected church events. Our Nursery Coordinator is Ms. Lora Garnett.

The church nursery is located one floor below the Sanctuary. Outside the Sanctuary doors, take the stairs down to the "blue floor," and the nursery is on your left.

New to the nursery? You will be asked to register your child so we will be aware of their needs. Please be sure to label all of their belongings.

Parents will want to know that nursery toys and surfaces are regularly cleaned and sanitized, and only paid caregivers handle diaper changes. 

It is sometimes hard for little ones to say good-bye to their parents! To minimize anxiety, we prefer for adults to say good-bye at the door. We will be sure to contact you if your child seems unhappy for an extended period of time.

Children's Chapel is available for our young members during the 11:00 worship hour. Children 3 years ( and potty-independent) through 1st grade attend the first part of worship (in the Sanctuary or Encounter worship services) with their parents. Following the Children's Sermon, they go upstairs to room 210 to learn about our faith in an age-appropriate way.

Parents: Please register your child for Chapel at the Children's Ministry Stand in the Atrium, or at the registration table in the Fellowship Hall. Put a wristband on your child, so our leaders know that your child will attend Chapel. Following Children's Time, adult leaders will take the children who are wearing wristbands to Room 210. Pick-up instructions are located on the registration table.

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord!
