We Love kids! We are the Children's Ministry Team and we love kids.  Our mission as a team is to provide the best possible environment and opportunities for children to grow closer to Jesus Christ. We love that St. Edward's is so kid friendly.  The floor inside the church is carpeted and children frequently wander around during the service.  Children are welcome in the service or they can go to the Nursery and Sunday School

We operate a nursery before and during our 8:00 & 10:00 am services. Our Nursery is staffed by a professional Nanny.  Sunday School is held during the first half of our 10:00 am service. 

When children have outgrown our Nursery they move on to our Godly Play Classes.  Godly Play is a Montessori style Sunday School that engages children's wonder and curiosity around the great stories of the Bible.  Kids love it.  Since beginning Godly Play in September of 2004 our class has doubled in size.

Children in grades 5 & 6 move into an activity based program (more info here)

We also have an occassional children's choir that sings during our 10 am service about once every few months.  They are adorable. 

In June we run an awesome Vacation Bible School.  In 2008 we had 42 children participate.

The Children's ministry Team isn't responsible for St. Edward's Preschool, but we thought you'd like to know about it so we have a link to it on our page.  Also you might like to know that members of St. Edward's enjoy a 25% discount at the Preschool.
