Children's Programs
Children are especially welcome at Wimberley United Methodist Church! Leading Christian educators believe that faith is “caught” and not “taught.” What better way for children to know what faith is all about than to be a full time member of a community!
At Wimberley UMC, we believe:
-
God put the wiggle in children - don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house.
-
Explain quietly to children the parts of the worship service.
-
Help your child find pages in the Hymnal or to follow along on the screen.
-
It is OK if they stand on the pew to see and to sing!
-
Sing the hymns, pray and voice the responses. Children learn good behavior in church by copying yours.
-
Remember that we ALWAYS welcome children in church! Let them know that they are at home and have an extended “family” in church.
Each year there are many opportunities for children to be involved in different programs and ministries. We strive to help children and families take the love of Christ to a different level. Some of the programs include Children's Sunday, Pumpkin Patch, Fall Festival, Gingerbread House Event, Christmas Eve family service, and more.

We put a lot of effort and thought and love into our children's classrooms and programs, which include loving and patient teachers. For more information, please contact our Children's Ministry Director, Courtenay Kehl.
There are children's classes for the following age groups:
Kidz Church
Sunday Mornings during the service
PreK4 - 5th Grade
In Person
Kids PreK4-5th grade will be invited to leave the sanctuary at the beginning of the 10:00am service and go across the lobby to the Fellowship Hall for a special worship service just for them. Please check your child in at the Check In Station prior to entering the sanctuary.
Nursery
Ages Newborn to Three Years
Children in our nursery will start to learn that church is a fun and safe place full of people who love them and who want them to know all about God's love, too! The caring adults and youth on our nursery staff enjoy sharing stories, toys, and songs with the infants and toddlers. Meets in the First Steps Nursery.
