We’re glad you’re here! The children’s ministry of Allendale United Methodist Church is a place where faith, fun, and learning go hand in hand. Through creative, active, age-appropriate, and Bible based experiences, children are guided and encouraged to grow in their faith and become deeply committed followers of Jesus Christ.

We joyfully serve infants through 5th graders in our children’s program. Whether you are a first time visitor or have been here many years, we pray you will feel the love of Christ as you enter our doors. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Children in Worship
Children are welcome at all our worship services here at Allendale. We think church should be intergenerational so don’t worry if your little one is a little noisy or wiggly.

If you prefer, a free nursery is also provided for children up to age five on Sunday mornings. Children age 0-2 meet in the crib nursery. The crib nursery is located near the back parking lot, between the sets of double glass doors. Children age 2-5 attend the toddler nursery, located down the sidewalk from the crib nursery in room 107. A free nursery is also provided for midweek activities upon request

Children’s Choir
Children’s Choir is available for K-5th graders on Sunday mornings during the 9am Contemporary Worship Service. Children’s Choir Members begin the service with their families then leave with the choir leaders during the greeting time for choir practice. (9:20am-10am in the choir room) Following the rehearsal /service, children are picked up by their parents or may be taken to their Sunday morning small group. The Children’s Choir is featured every 4-6 weeks in both worship services.

Sunday Morning Small Groups for Children
The Bible is taught every week through exciting storytelling and great crafts. Throughout the year children are also given a chance to put their faith into action by participating in age-appropriate service projects. All of our Children’s Small Groups meet Sunday mornings from 10:00am-11:00am
