KIDS' MINISTRY
At First United Methodist Church of Cleburne, we strive to provide a nurturing learning environment filled with love for all God’s children.
We offer a nursery for infants as well as preschool-age children. Our nursery staff is trained in CPR and use of defibrillators.
Older children (ages kindergarten through 5th grade) participate in a wide variety of age-appropriate activities created to model and encourage worship, scripture learning and prayer. Fellowship opportunities are plentiful and classroom teaching is designed to help make God and Jesus a part of each of their daily lives.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
SUNDAY
Infants and preschoolers meet in the nurseries on the Children's Hall. Older children (ages kindergarten through 5th grade) initially meet as a group in the gym for a time of play, fellowship and singing before dividing into smaller age-groups that meet in classrooms.
WEDNESDAY
The Gathering (during the school year)
The Gathering is a time for church members of all ages to gather together for a shared meal and discipleship.
We will gather before the meal starting at 5:45 pm in the Family Center/Gym. Dinner will be served at 6 pm. From 6:30 -7:30 pm, there will be the option of an age-appropriated discipleship study or choir (7th grade to adult). Nursery is available for families participating in a discipleship study or choir.
Discipleship opportunities begin at 6:30pm:
- Children and GAP Kids will begin with music and follow with discipleship classes.
- 7th through 12th grade students will meet in the Youth building and open with contemporary worship music and then break into middle school and high school Bible studies. 7th through 12th grade students also have the option of joining the choir in lieu of Bible study.
- Adults have the option of joining a study based on “The Chosen” show or participate in our choir for their practice.
The cost for the 9 weeks is $40 for a single person, $80 for a couple, and $125 for a family. Unregistered participants for a single Wednesday is $5/person. Full and partial scholarships are available.
