Children’s Ministry (Preschool–5th Grade)
Play, Explore, Worship, and Grow!
“Let the little children come to me.” — Matthew 19:14
At Westminster, children are not just the church of tomorrow — they are the church of today! Every week we welcome children to learn, play, create, worship, and grow together in a safe, loving, and faith-filled environment.
Through storytelling, crafts, music, prayer, service, and joyful play, children are guided to:
- Explore God’s Word through fun Bible stories
- Talk with God in prayer
- Learn from Jesus by practicing love and kindness
- Notice God Around You in friends, life, and nature
- Sing, Play, and Praise joyfully
- Give Thanks Outdoors for God’s beautiful creation
- Be Quiet with God to pause and reflect
- Check on Friends and show care
- Use Kind Words to encourage others
- Listen Carefully to friends and God’s guidance
- Include Everyone in play and activities
- Help and Serve with a loving heart
Faith grows best when it’s fun, interactive, and experienced together — and that’s exactly what we provide every week.
