Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Athens First Methodist Church Children's Ministry strives to teach children about the love of Jesus Christ in a welcoming, engaging, energetic, exciting, and safe environment. We aim to partner with parents to help kids develop their own relationship with Jesus and love for God. Children from infancy to sixth grade are invited to participate in a variety of activities, tailored to their ages and stages.

Sunday

We have Sunday School at 10 a.m. each week for children ages 3-5th grade. For infants-2 years, we provide nursery care on the children's hallway in the Main Building.

Wednesday Night Live

WNL is a weekly time for children to have fun and fellowship while learning about God's great love for us. Join us ages 4-5th Grade!

JUMP

Junior United Methodist Program (JUMP) is a monthly ministry for our 4th & 5th graders. We always have a fun activity, paired with deeper Bible study and discussion. This program is a good primer for youth.

This milestone program was designed to teach our 5th graders how to better participate in worship. Students learn more about Christianity and the Methodist tradition through study and memorization.
