Children Ministries

Parents bring young children to church to help the children grow in faith. Our nursery and classrooms for young children aren't just a place where children are cared for during Sunday school and worship on Sunday mornings.

While much faith development happens when the children are older, the foundation for faith begins in infancy. All faith is based on basic trust. The first step in faith growth for this age group comes when adults pay attention to the children's needs and respond appropriately. When adults consistently and dependably respond to a child's needs he or she learns to trust. This trust in turn forms the basis for trusting God. When this happens here at church the child learns that the church is a safe place where he or she is loved and cared for. Play is the work of children. Through play young children learn about God's creation and their place in it as well as how to respond to the world with love and caring and sharing.

We are excited be a part of the faith development of your child! If you have any questions or comments please contact Jamie Allen at children@cairofumc.org.
