Children's Ministry

Wednesdays, Sept. 15–Oct. 27 from 5:30 to 6:15 pm
Rhythm & Rhyme Sing-Along Time

Each Wednesday evening for six weeks, children of all ages (up through 5th grade) are invited to music class. We will use percussion instruments, sing songs about God, explore dance and motion and learn basic music theory. An adult must accompany the child. Registration is $12/family, payable to St. Luke’s, and due by Sept. 12.

Welcome in Worship
Children are welcome in worship with their families every Sunday morning. During the school year, get to church early for Sunday morning Kingdom Kids, starting at 9:30 am for ages 3 through 5th grade!

Infants and Toddlers

Toddlers play with legos

At St. Luke's, we affirm that children are a sacred gift from God. We promise to surround our children in a nurturing community that they may grow in their love of God and service to others.

On Sundays, we provide nursery care for infants and toddlers (through age 4 during the worship service, as needed). The nursery has age-appropriate toys and activities and is monitored by at least two loving workers who care for your children.

The church nursery is more than a babysitting service! We consider it a ministry opportunity where young children can be introduced to basic spiritual concepts and have God's love modeled to them through the nurture and care of the nursery workers.

Nursery workers are encouraged to express love to every child, teach Bible basics such as "God made you" and "Jesus loves you," be filled with praise to God, promote a secure and safe environment in God's church, and help babies and toddlers develop social and play skills. The young children are engaged with Bible storybooks and Christian music.

Welcome to the Nursery handbook

Ages 3 - 5th Grade

Children come to church at 9:30 am to attend their Sunday morning class while parents go to their own small group. Crafts, snacks, games and Bible storytime are all a part of the vibrant curriculum. After class, families worship together. Nursery care is available for the youngest children (through age 4), and a sermon activity is optional for school-aged children.
