Every Child Matters

At Clarkston United Methodist Church, we believe that every child is a precious gift from God. Our children's ministry provides a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can explore their faith, build lasting friendships, and discover God's amazing love for them.

Through age-appropriate activities, engaging Bible stories, and creative worship, we help children develop a strong foundation in their faith journey while having fun and building community.

Love

We create an environment where children feel God's love and learn to share that love with others.

Learn

We engage children in age-appropriate Bible learning that helps them understand God's story.

Grow

We nurture children's spiritual growth so they develop a lifelong relationship with Christ.
