CHILDREN
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord…”
-Psalm 127:3
The children of Union Athens are not a distraction from the important stuff, but are instead a vital part of our church!
On Sundays, we highly value engaging our children in worship, believing that they best learn to follow Jesus alongside of their parents in the community of God’s people. We encourage all those who are able to stay in the service, and seek to explain the elements of worship to them, along the way.
After singing together, our children move to the back of the room with our Kids Ministry, where they can ask questions about the teaching, draw and write about what they’re hearing, and really learn how to participate in the full worship service. Our Kids Ministry Coordinators seek to build real relationships with the children of the church on more than just Sunday afternoons, as well, to know how to come alongside and communicate with them in helpful and meaningful ways.
We also have childcare and a room for play for the little ones, or those those who may not be able to sit through the full service. However, please know that we believe the presence of children (including all the usual noises and needs that come along with them) is a blessing and benefit to the adults in the worship service, as well!
