Children and Youth Ministries
Because we take our responsibility for the safety of our children and youth very seriously, SUMC utilizes a Safe Sanctuaries Policy which provides safety requirements and guidelines for church employees and volunteers in ministry with children and youth. Copies of the policy are available at the church.
Sunday School
Sunday School classes for children and youth (pre-K through High School) take place at 9:15 am from mid-September through mid-June. Classes are grouped by grade and employ a variety of fun and engaging age-appropriate methods for teaching young people about the Bible and about living as faithful followers of Jesus. Occasional Sunday mornings during the year combined-ages sessions are held for pre-K through grade 8, and utilize hands-on multiple intelligence learning activities on a particular Bible story or topic. Parents are always welcome in Sunday School classes, particularly for combined-ages sessions.
