Children  at  St. Luke's

We value children at St. Luke's. We believe they have a special place in the Kingdom of God and at St. Luke's. Children are treated with dignity and are encouraged to participate and lead in worship. Connect with our dedicated children's minister Pat McKim to learn more about our children's ministry. We're always happy to add to our amazing group of ministry leaders!

  • SUNDAY SCHOOL

    SUNDAYS AT 9:50 AM // CHILDREN'S BUILDING

    Join us every Sunday in the Children's Building at 9:50 AM for fun, age-appropriate Bible lessons for all children from toddlers to 4th graders. (Our 5th graders join with our 6th and 7th graders for a special "tween" class held in the youth building.)

  • CHILDREN'S CHURCH

    SUNDAYS DURING THE BLENDED (10:55 AM) + BILINGUAL (11:00 AM) SERVICES

    Children's church is held during our later worship services. The children are dismissed during the service to gather in the Narthex of the Sanctuary and have their own worship service in a kid-friendly space. All children ages 5-3rd grade are welcome to join

  • THE PRAYGROUND

    SUNDAYS AT 8:45 AM // FAMILY LIFE CENTER

    During our 8:45 AM Awakening Service, we have a special place set up in our Fellowship Hall (where the Awakening service occurs) for children of all ages to engage in worship in their own ways. There are two tables and a rug, with quiet toys, books, crayons, coloring sheets, and other fun things to engage little hands during the worship service.

  • NURSERY + CHILDCARE

    SUNDAYS + WEDNESDAYS // CHILDREN'S BUILDING

    We offer nursery during all of our worship services for children from birth-4 years old. Children too young for Sunday School have a safe, fun place to be during that time in our nursery. We also have childcare available during our Wednesday night Bible studies and rehearsals for infants-5th graders. In addition, childcare is provided during special services and large events that are especially for adults.

Kids of the Kingdom Choir meets on Wednesday afternoons with pick-up from area schools. This group is for 2nd-5th graders and learns one musical per semester in addition to performing for worship.
