Children's Ministries at Fairmont
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Mark 10:14)
Fairmont values our youngest disciples and seeks to help guide them into a lifelong relationship with God through formation and fun! All volunteers & leaders are screened and Safe Sanctuaries trained to keep our young disciples safe.
Children’s Church
Children from 4 years old to 5th grade are invited to children’s church during morning worship, where they can grow in their faith through biblical stories, songs, games, activities, and crafts! Children accompany their parents to worship, then are guided to Children’s Church following the Gathering of All God’s Children in worship. On Communion Sundays, children return to receive Communion with their families.
Children in Worship
Children of all ages are always welcome in our worship services! Children’s bulletins are available from a greeter or usher, and children’s worship materials are located on a cart near the entrance of the Sanctuary. (See an usher for help!)
Children and youth also can serve as worship leaders or readers in our services, and as acolytes who bring the light of Christ into the service.
Nursery Care
During morning worship, infants and children up to age four are cared for by caring and trained nursery workers and volunteers. See an usher so that you can be guided to our nursery.
Children's Ministries
There are special events that also occur throughout the year for our children and their friends as they grow in their relationships with God and one another. Each year, we host a Community Trunk or Treat, an Impromptu Children's Nativity Service, a Mardi Gras/Ash Wednesday Celebration, a special Easter Egg Hunt, and Camp Live Differently (our version of Vacation Bible School that focuses on meeting the needs of others). It is our hope that the children's ministry at Fairmont shapes all of us more into the likeness of Jesus.
