Children's Ministry & Sunday School | Whitefish Bay, WI

A place for children to belong, grow, and discover faith.


At UMC Whitefish Bay, children are an important part of our church family. We want every child to know they are loved, welcomed, and valued while discovering what it means to know God, love others, and serve the world.

Whether your family is visiting for the first time or has been part of our church for years, there is a place for your child here.

A Safe Place For Children

We want to partner with parents!  By partnering together, the church and family form a synergy to raise healthy and positive children. Kids thrive in caring and safe environments.  We have security procedures in a dedicated area of our building.  We complete a background check on our volunteers who are trained in making our church a safe space for children. We provide a staffed nursery and age-appropriate programs for kids six weeks through fifth grade.  Our sanctuary features a lounge with a private nursing area for newborn or restless children.

Growing Together in Faith

We encourage faith development through Bible stories, exciting worship, and active service.  The goal is to grow disciples who recognize Jesus Christ as their friend while learning to love God and those around them. Nobody should walk through life alone. We emphasize connection of children and families with one another and the broader church family.  We create community through events, activities, and connection opportunities.
