Children's Ministries

Our Children's Ministry exists to share Christ with the children of our community. Team them with other Christians and advance them in their spiritual maturity. Helping them to recognize their spiritual gifts and to surrender their lives to God.


The Children's Ministry provides fellowship and growth for infants through the Fourth grade. Sunday worship includes a "Children's Time' after which children through kindergarten are excused to the Children's Wing for lessons, crafts, and play. Other activities includes an Easter Egg Hunt, Vacation Bible School, Hay rides and many more.


Where are the youth going during church?

You may have noticed that the youth follow Amanda in and out of the Sanctuary during the 10:30 Worship Service. No, they are not going to Starbucks. Many youth volunteer to serve as Children's Church assistants. Although we do limit the number of helpers according to the number of children we have in the back, we are very thankful that our youth are willing to serve.

Safe Sanctuary

Safe Sanctuary is a program that churches adopt to ensure the safety of its' children. Hamilton UMC has committed to creating a safe sanctuary for its' children and youth ministries. A task force will meet soon to discuss a new policy and procedures for HUMC. Please keep this ministry in your prayers as it begins.
