But Jesus called the children
to him and said, “Let the little children
come to me, and do not hinder Luke 18:16
them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such
as these.”
Welcome to Sharonville United Methodist Church’s Children’s Ministry! We’re excited about the children we have here and we love watching God work in their lives and their hearts.
At Sharonville United Methodist Church (SUMC), we consider children one of our richest blessings from God. Our ministry exists to provide an atmosphere where children will find acceptance and encouragement as they learn who God is, discover the importance and relevance of the Bible, and grow to accept God’s Son, Jesus Christ, as their personal Savior. We encourage and motivate our children to commit their lives to Jesus and His church and to live out what they learn.
“For the word of God is living and active.”
Hebrews 3:12a
Serving Christ,
Teresa Roberts
Director of Children’s Ministry
Our Kid Konnection
Our ultimate prayer is that every child will come to understand what it means to accept Christ as their Savior and will take that life-changing step for themselves. But just as in school, we realize that children learn in different ways and at different rates. No one way is right. We don’t set expectations for any child and nobody gets “graded” in any of our ministries. We’re just glad to have your children here and we hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities to learn, grow and serve as a family.
Together, we want to help our Kids:
Konnect with Christ
Konnect with others
Konnect with the world
