CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Children and families are an active and vital part of our Epiphany community. Epiphany’s Children’s Ministry strives to introduce and invite children into the way of Jesus, so that they know they are loved by God and can respond to this love through faith and service. The children’s ministry does this by exploring with children the building blocks of faith (prayer, scripture, worship, & community).

SUNDAY MORNINGS FOR CHILDREN
Nursery
Childcare is available Sunday mornings in the Nursery for children 3 years old and younger starting at 9:15 a.m. Anna Democko, Sierra Jamison, and Jessica Tirado faithfully care for our littlest members and visitors each week.
In Worship
Children are always welcome in worship and are encouraged to join their families at all our services. Children’s bulletins and crayons are available in the narthex and activity bags can be found in the nook in the gallery. Ask an usher to help you find what your child needs to feel part of worship.
Children's Chapel
Children's Chapel (during the 10:00 a.m. service) is a joyful, child-focused service for children up to 3rd grade with liturgy, music, a story, and prayers. We process out of the service at the end of the Gospel reading, process back to "big church" to join our families during the Peace, and remain for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Parents are welcome to come to Children's Chapel anytime.
Sunday School (Fall & Spring)
Children’s formation takes place on Sundays during the school year, following the 10:00 a.m. service.
-
Godly Play: At Epiphany we utilize the Godly Play curriculum for children ages 3 up until 3rd grade. Godly Play incorporates our faith stories in a developmentally appropriate manner. This allows children to explore and wonder freely.
-
“Surveyors of Scripture”: This formation class is for 4th and 5th graders (and some 3rd graders, if deemed appropriate). This curriculum offers a deep dive into both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.
Adult volunteers are essential for making these programs and special events feasible and meaningful. Please contact Edie Brush for more information about how you can support these ministries to children at Epiphany!
