“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
At First United Methodist Church, we’re intentional about making God real and relevant in reaching every child with God’s truth. Our Children’s Ministry intentionally and creatively reaches out to raise up a generation of individuals who know and love Jesus and learn how to share Him with others by offering the Children’s Conversation, Children’s Church, Sunday School and a variety of children’s events throughout the year.
children’s music
The Music Ministry at First United Methodist Church is an active, worshipping, growing, and vital part of the church’s mission. There are no audition requirements for many of our ensembles. The choirs and bell choirs are open to anyone interested. To learn more about our Music Ministries or to join an ensemble, please contact Keegan Rose by clicking the button below.

All children in 1stthrough 5th grades are welcome to join the choir for Wednesday evening rehearsals during the school year. Rehearsal lasts 45-50 minutes and then the children participate in activities led by our Director of Children’s Ministries such as a devotion, snack, and games. This group also learns and performs the Children’s Christmas Pageant every year!
