CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Whether you’re new to TUMC or have been here for a long time, there is a place for you and your children! On Sunday mornings, children are welcome in worship and can enjoy a special message during the 11:00AM worship service. Sunday School is at 9:30AM on Sunday mornings for children of all ages. Once a month, TUMC’s “Fun Fridays” give parents a night out while kids enjoy time with their friends. Check out the “Children’s Events” page for a list of all other activities and events for children at TUMC.
Children’s Sunday School & Nursery
Children’s Sunday School is open to children of visitors as well as members. Families can check in at any of the kiosks on the TUMC campus, then take their children to their classroom for Sunday School. After checking children in, they can be dropped off at room 222 in the Education Building at 9:30 for music and special activities. At 10:00, Sunday School teachers escort children to their classrooms, where they can be picked up by 10:45. We ask that you please stay on the church campus while your children are in Sunday School or childcare.
All Sunday School staff and volunteers are Safe Gatherings trained to provide a loving and safe environment for young ones to enjoy fellowship with their peers. Learn more about safety training in the Rio Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church here.
