Welcome!
Children and Tweens Ministry
We believe children are created by God and are intended to grow into the fullness and beauty for which God has created them. We promise to guide and nurture children and families, in mind, body and soul—the totality of the human creature—into a life of faith.
Children are a part of our worship life at Selwyn. While children of all ages are welcome, our tradition is to formally prepare children to worship and to join us at the Lord’s Table in kindergarten.
Sunday School at 9:30am-10:20am: Sunday mornings at 9:30am are a primary time of formation for SAPC children and their families! During this time, children engage in faith teaching by vetted and trusted adults through play, Bible instruction, song, prayer, art, science and more! It is a time where children are invited into community with their peers and safe adults to belong and ask questions and explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus! Sunday School is offered for ages 5-5th grade upstairs in the Bowman building.
Children’s Worship During 10:30am Service: This is a short and sweet time for children ages 5-2nd grade to learn what it means to worship God through the many facets of worship. Often, this brief time (from after the Children’s Sermon to after the adult sermon- approximately 20-25 minutes) includes singing, storytelling, dancing, playing instruments, engaging in games, and a brief activity. Children are invited to join for the beginning part of worship in the sanctuary, follow their teachers out following the Children’s Message to head to the chapel, and rejoin their parents/guardians in the sanctuary following Children’s Worship.
Wednesday Evenings from 5:30pm-7pm: A re-designed time for children to explore their faith through music and art! For 7 weeks this fall on Wednesday nights, children will learn songs for Children’s Choir (first 4 weeks) to perform as a part of multi-general worship on November 2 at SAPC and then engage in worshipful art activities (last 3 weeks) for art projects and installations (many that will be used in the sanctuary). This 7-week session will run from October 8-November 19th. Dinner will also be available to purchase and reserve to eat together as a family (more details to follow). Open to ages 4-5th grade. Registration to follow.
9:30am and 10:30am Nursery Time: Children (age 6 weeks-age 4) are invited to a safe space in the lower level Child Development Center to play and be cared for by trusted and vetted adults. They will be provided age-appropriate activities and brief learning activities or storytelling about faith and following God.
