Children’s Ministry @ Myers

Children’s Ministry is thriving at Myers Memorial UMC!  We are committed to providing faith formation opportunities for all God’s Children! 
 
Pastor Sarah joined the Myers Staff in 2017 and began her current position in the summer of 2024.  With over 20 years of experience in children’s faith formation and we look forward to the many fun ways we get to experience God and Jesus with her! 
 
Our 2026 Ministry theme at Myers is “What does the Lord require…of you? of me? of Myers?” and we in the children’s area are committed to leading the children of our community to a deeper relationship with Jesus as they experience a loving environment that will welcome, love and serve one another and the world.

Housing options will be varied, from camp cabins to hotel style rooms.  Family units will stay as a group, allowing all ages and abilities to participate.

Created By God

One of the conversations we don’t want to have is the one we really need to have and that’s the awkward conversation about how we are created ~ male and female. We at Myers Memorial UMC want to help you have that conversation with your child and lay the ground work for any future conversation that seems awkward and embarrassing. 
 
Created by God is offered every other year and will be offered as interest allows.
 
We are created by God and God is still at work helping us become the person we were created to be.  It’s not always an easy process but with accurate information and a safe environment to learn and question, growing up can be a little bit easier. Questions? Contact Pastor Sarah
