Children’s Ministries

Children’s Ministry is a key part of our church life! We offer many different programs and events throughout the year that the children of the church and community are invited to participate in.

Sundays

Children’s Message

⛪ Each Sunday, we invite children to attend Worship with their families. They can choose to either sit with their family or join Ms. Terra, Ms. Velma, and the rest of the children on the right side of the Worship space.✨
📖💡During the first half of Worship, the children are invited to come to the front of the Sanctuary for the Children’s Message. It’s a special time when they hear an exciting, kid-friendly version of the sermon.
🏫At the end of the Children’s Message, Ms. Terra dismisses the children to Sunday School, and they all walk together to the classroom for more fun and learning!🎨
💛 Children will reunite with their parents in the Worship space at the end of Worship, during the Sending Song. 🎶

Summertime

Summer Camp

Each summer, children who have completed K-5th grade are invited to join us for Summer Camp! ☀️🎉 This program is led by Mr. A with the help of Ms. Jahaira and spans six weeks over the course of the summer.
🤩Each week, children will have the opportunity to participate in fun group games, field trips, swimming pool visits, splash days, and more! Each week of camp is jam-packed with crazy fun that your child is sure to love!
**Session 1: June 9-13**
**Session 2: June 16-20**
**Session 3: June 23-27**
**NO CAMP WEEK OF JULY 4**
**Session 4: July 7-11**

Due to high demand, we are restructuring camp groups to create space for more friends where it's needed. **If you'd like to join the waitlist,** please fill out the form by clicking **here.**
**The last day to request a refund for Summer Camp is May 15th, 2025.**
If you need to change the week your child is scheduled for, please send us an email with your child’s name, the grade they are currently in, the week they are registered for, and the week you would like them to be moved to. We will do our best to accommodate, but we cannot make any guarantees. **Please note: There will be a $25 fee to transfer weeks. This is a per child/per week fee.**
If you have questions about Summer Camp, please email Ms. Jahaira at recreations@westumethodist.org

Celebrating VBS 2025: Camp Firelight!

Each day was filled with wonder, praise, creativity, and FUN! Thank you to all of our amazing Volunteers who made Campfirelight happen and to all of our campers who came and filled our week with joy!
