The CUMC nursery is a bright, clean, and inviting space located on the first floor of the church. We are now fully staffed with five qualified, caring, and experienced personnel. We have also made recent updates to improve security measures for our nursery-aged children. 
Getting Connected…
There are several ways for children and families to connect with others at Central United Methodist. On this page you will find some of them.

For more information, contact Rev. Ann H. Owens,  Children & Family Minister .

Elementary

PreK – 5th Grade

Sunday School

Sunday Mornings 8:45—9:45 am 
before 10:00 am Worship
Room 301
Equipping children with the tools for a strong relationship with God through interactive Biblical lessons and spiritual practices. Each week we experience community with other children while participating in service projects, learning through wonder, and playing together.

At Central, we use Godly Play to immerse ourselves in the experience of Bible stories and Christian Education. Our Sunday School lessons are on a 3-year rotation. Experiencing ideas and stories multiple times creates opportunities to obtain new insights and allows children to grow with the stories. Our dedicated Sunday school volunteers bring the lessons to life through imagination.

Children's Church

Following the Children’s Moment during the Sunday morning 10:00 am worship service.
There is no Children’s Church on Communion Sundays. Nursery is still available.
Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to attend worship and then go to Children’s Church following the Children’s Moment.

We want to make sure that our time of worship is rich and meaningful. One of the ways in which we do that is to make the experience of Children’s Church a time of faith development that is age-appropriate within spaces that are child-friendly. Children’s Church is offered in the chapel, which is beside the sanctuary.
