Over the past few years, part of our parish-wide “extreme makeover” included a new nursery located in the “west wing” of our campus. The nursery features a colorful and inviting space for the youngest members of our parish family. We have two beautiful cribs, rocking chairs and a changing table for staff to comfort and tend to infants. There’s plenty of books, toys, and space for curious toddlers to explore and play. Plus a small children’s table and chair set for coloring and crafts. We welcome you to come experience this beautiful space for yourself!Our All Saints Children’s Ministry team strives to partner with parents to create a loving, safe, and inviting environment at church at home for our children to know, love, and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Our goal is to assist in the creation of spiritually healthy, connected families. There are three legs to our Children’s Ministry stool: Biblical, Relational, and Missional. We want to help kids see God for who he is (Biblical) and themselves the way God sees them (Relational), so they can love others the way he does (Missional).
We strive to reach the following objectives for each group: Every element centers on giving preschoolers a first impression of their loving heavenly Father. We want to convey Christ’s love translated as a safe, comfortable, tender environment and caregiver. We want each child to grow up knowing that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. We want these truths in each child’s heart: that they need to make wise choices, that they can trust God no matter what, and that they should treat others the way they want to be treated. Sunday school meets from September through June. Children of all ages are invited to learn about Jesus’ great love for each one of them. You may register your child in person Sunday mornings at the Ground Floor Welcome Center or online by clicking the link below.

Children's Church is an opportunity for children ages 4-10 years old to grow in the knowledge of the Lord. Our goal is to shepherd your child's heart to understand the depth of Jesus love for them, while instilling strong Biblical knowledge.
We have an excellent group of volunteers who teach the classes on a rotating basis at the 10:30 service. Children come to Children's Church at the beginning of the service and return to their families after the sermon. Right down the hall from the sanctuary we offer a staffed nursery for children ages 0 - 3 at the 10:30 am service. The nursery is equipped with a changing table and a rocking chair for nursing mothers. When you arrive for the first time we will have you fill out a registration form for your child and will take your cell phone number in case we need to reach you during the service. Confirmation begins each Fall and is a two year commitment/program. This class is for 6th-8th graders who want to grow in their knowledge and be confirmed as followers of Christ and publicly declare their faith. Teenagers (ages 13-18) meet for a time of prayer, fellowship, fun, and Bible study every Sunday afternoon after the 10:30 service in the Timothy House (on the St. Paul campus) from Fall to Spring.

Feel free to pick them up so your child can follow along with the service. Children of all ages are welcome to receive communion. When we baptize children, we welcome them into God’s family, just as they have been welcomed into our individual families. It may be years before children understand the history or values of our family, but they are nonetheless valuable members. Likewise in church, children may not understand all the mysteries of communion, but they are learning how the Family of God breaks bread together and shares the holy meal – so as soon as your child has been baptized and is physically able to ingest solid foods, they are welcome to participate in the Eucharist.
