Children's Ministry
The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6, “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” Here at SIMC, we desire to partner with families in seeing Children grow to know Jesus each day. From birth to 5th grade, opportunities are endless for your children to know Jesus, build friendships & have a ton of fun! Check out our weekly & upcoming Children’s Ministry programming below.
Safe Sanctuary

Nursery & Children's Church
Our goal on Sunday mornings is to provide nurture and education for children in a safe, welcoming, well-staffed, and positive environment to enhance your family's journey of faith.
Two nursery spaces are provided on Sunday mornings; our infant nursery is for newborns to capable walkers and our toddler nursery accommodates children through the age of three. As children grow from infants to three-year-olds, we will introduce them to God's presence through interactive play, singing, storytelling, arts and crafts, and sharing.
Between the ages of three and four, parents decide when their child is ready to make the transition from nursery to Children’s Church. When ready, children attend worship with parents. During the worship service, children are invited to come to the front of the Sanctuary for a Children’s Sermon and then children ages 3 years through 5th grade are dismissed for Children’s Church. During Children’s Church, the children are divided into separate groups for age-appropriate lessons and hands-on activities. Parents can pick up children in the hall beside the Choir Room following worship.
Nursery and Children’s Church are staffed by trained workers and volunteers who all meet our Ministry Safe guidelines.

Upcoming Events

This is a great opportunity for third, fourth, and fifth grade boys and girls to have fun, dig into God’s word, and build community with some adults and each other. We will have activities together and even divide into small groups. We will meet every other Sunday night during the spring beginning January 11 from 4:30-6:00 pm in Bailey Hall. Make plans to sign your kids up and spread the word to all your friends!
