Monfort Heights United Methodist Church has
a rich Children's Ministry program. Below you will find information about
these various ministries.
“KidsZONE
” is the Sunday School Program at Monfort Heights United Methodist
Church. We offer two unique programs of Bible-based Christian education
for children ages preschool through 5th grade during our 9:44 and 11:00
Sunday services. Children attend the first ten minutes of the worship hour
in the sanctuary with their families. Located in each pew pocket are
nametags that can be filled out and worn by the children. After a short
Children’s Message, the children are escorted to their classrooms by their
teachers and teacher helpers. After the service, parents will be directed
to the classrooms to pick up their children. Everyone is welcome to come
to Fellowship Hall following the service to meet old and new friends and
enjoy some juice, coffee, and baked treats!
9:44am...Children’s Church
At our 9:44 service, our KidsZONE children have the opportunity to
experience their own worship service! We all come together for a time of
worship, special music, children’s message, and sharing. We then break
into groups for age-appropriate study, games, crafts, and activities as we
explore and learn about God’s love for us.
11:00am...Sunday School
During the 11:00 service, our KidsZONE kids continue their journey of
discovery as they uncover the treasures of the Bible. The second year of
our WALK WITH ME curriculum promises to be filled with more Bible
adventures as we explore the Old and New Testaments and grow in our
knowledge of what it means to be a member of God’s family!
NURSERY CARE
Our Nursery Care Center, located on the Sanctuary level (2nd floor) in
Room 201, is available for infants thru age three during the Sunday
Morning Worship Hours, 8:30am, 9:44am, and 11:00am. Parents are asked to
