Children's Ministry
"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.'" - Matthew 19:14

Children at Church
Children of all ages are welcome at St. David's Episcopal Church!
If you are interested in joining us for family events follow us our Facebook page and Instagram where we share events and offerings as they are scheduled. Please search for St. David's Episcopal Church and School or click the links above. 

In Church
Here at St. David's we are committed for children to actively be involved in worship. This is a valuable way to learn and build community. 

Children Serve during Worship 
Children serve and participate in the processional, the readings, serving on the altar, coming to sit on the altar steps for the children's message, seashells and you will often see children dancing at the recessional.

Children are welcome to Greet at the front door before service. Just show up to help!
Sunday School 11am
In person Sunday School classes are offered after the 10am service for children preschool age 4 through 5th grade in the Annex.

Join us and together we can foster a love for Jesus and an understanding of God's world.  It is our goal to support and encourage children through God’s love, one child at a time. Classes are fun and engaging, with a focus on learning Bible stories through hands on experiences such as arts and crafts, songs, and games through nature. Classes meet both outside and in the Sunday School classroom in the Annex, which is the building located outside the church. 

Register here for  2022 - 2023 School Year. 

The 2022 - 2023 Sunday School Calendar is here. 
​Please contact Maureen Carey at mcarey@sdlife.org with any questions.

​Children in Worship

​Baptism

Every Sunday at 10 am, our contemporary worship engages kids with upbeat music, a brief children's sermon, and welcoming atmosphere.  Your child will be a part of worship while parents don't worry about saying "shhh."

​Sunday School

We welcome all to the font and support you and your child in this faith journey. There is an opportunity for baptism each month (except during Lent and Advent).  Contact us to find out more or ask about scheduling a baptism.

​VBS & Other Opportunities

We are excited to offer a new year-round Christian education program for children beginning at 11am in the Annex (ages 4+ – 5th grade). Each week’s lesson will incorporate hands-on activities, an actionable challenge, and a reproducible parent page for further interaction at home.
St. David's offers Vacation Bible School (VBS) every Sumer to help children engage with the Church in a fun way. Children are an essential part of St. David's Christian covenant community. There are opportunities to serve in worship as an acolyte in choir and more.  Children are also a valued part of our other ministries such as outreach.  We will help your child feel welcomed and comfortable as they learn their gifts in ministry. Contact us to find out more or sign up for a particular ministry!
