At Shady Grove, we love and value children and families. We join you in one of the most important tasks: The spiritual growth of your child.
We believe that every child is a special gift from God. We understand that each stage of childhood is different. We design our ministries to meet your child where they are.
Our ministry does not stop with your child. We want to minister to your entire family. Our prayer is that all in your family will grow in their relationship with Christ and He will be Lord and Savior over your lives.
We believe that family is the most important influence in a childs life. Therefore, we want to do everything we can to encourage and support your family.
Ministries for Children
At Shady Grove United Methodist Church we are committed to helping Children grow in their faith. We provide opportunities for children to develop real relationships that affirm that they are loved and valued. It is important to us to enhance the children’s learning through student to student interaction, experiences and active games. We want the children to be ”Hearers and Doers of the Word of God”. (James 1:22) Find out the many ways you can serve in the children’s ministries.

Each week children become excited about Sunday School. Some examples of themes in the year to come are Moses– Into the Promise Land, Daniel , and Ester.
