Children

Asbury United Methodist ChurchConnectChildren

With open arms, we welcome you and your family to Asbury’s Children’s Ministries. From birth to 5th grade, we want to help children develop a relationship with our creator that lasts forever. Through various programs and events, children will come to know that Jesus Christ is God’s Son and loves us all. Whether the children are hearing a Bible story, creating with their hands and minds, or singing from their hearts, they will know that God loves them. We invite your family to partner with us in beginning this very exciting journey of faith.
