The Children & Family Ministry at Epworth offers year-round programs that engage children in meaningful faith formation while supporting parents and caregivers. From weekly Sunday School to seasonal events, we believe children best experience God’s love through relationships, stories, play, and worship.
Goals
- Nurture children’s faith through age-appropriate experiences of worship, learning, and play.
- Partner with families in guiding children’s spiritual growth at home and in the church.
- Create safe, welcoming, and joy-filled environments for all children.
- Provide opportunities for families to connect, grow, and serve together.
