Mt. Sylvan Children's Ministry
And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. "Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. read more.
"And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me"

Children’s Sunday school
Sunday morning Sunday School starts each week at 9:30 in the Children's Ministry Tree House (Children's Center).
In both our PRESCHOOL and ELEMENTARY classes, we are following the Grow curriculum where each month becomes a new themed adventure as we explore and grow through scripture, music, crafts, and fellowship!
CURRENT MONTH: SEPTEMBER
ANIMATED: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ON THE PROPHETS
SERIES OVERVIEW:
If you’ve ever gotten a little emotional during your favorite Disney or Pixar movie, you know animation is a powerful tool to not only tell big stories, but to make us feel big feelings, too! In this four-week series, we’ll look at some stories of the Old Testament prophets as we explore some of those feelings. These stories will remind kids that God cares about our big feelings. With God, we can all feel secure, comforted, valued, and loved, even when our emotions tell us otherwise.
We'd love to have you join us for Sunday Morning Sunday School! If you aren't quite sure about attending in-person yet, participate from the comfort of your home!
Contact Heather Thompson (heather@mtsylvan.org) for more information!
Nursery is provided for children who have not yet entered elementary school.
Whether you need nursery care so you can attend a Sunday School class and/or while you join us for Worship, your child will be in great care! When you come to our nursery, you will find a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere! We are blessed with great volunteers that love kids. All nursery workers have undergone a thorough background check and have been trained to follow Safe Sanctuaries procedures.
Safe Sanctuaries training certifies individuals as safe workers with children and youth in United Methodist ministries.
The nursery is found in the education building located across from the church sanctuary. Please ask any church member and they will be happy to point you in the right direction.
