Children’s Ministries

At LWUMC we believe that we are all beloved children of God and acknowledge that God’s love is unconditional and never-ending. Our children’s programming is designed to incorporate the arts – music, Bible storytelling, puppetry, graphic arts, etc. – to help children experience the love of God in fellowship with those around them while giving them the opportunity to use their gifts to share that love with each other and the congregation.

We acknowledge that we are each a part of God’s wonderous creation. Our time planting and harvesting in the community gardens on the church lawn gives us an opportunity to explore the interconnectedness of life, to experience God’s love through nature, and to begin doing our part to care for the earth and all of its creatures.

We believe that children are not simply the church of tomorrow; they are valued members of the church today. As such, we encourage their active participation and leadership in worship, service, and community events.

Our Sunday morning children’s programming begins at 9:00 in the children’s suite and continues during worship in the sanctuary at 10:00.  We follow UMC Safe Sanctuaries guidelines. For more information please send email to childrensministry@lakewaumc.org.
