At First UMC, Amite we offer the following ministries with children:
Nursery
Our nursery is provided so that your child (infants and toddlers) can remain in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment while you participate in Sunday School, worship, and other church activities.
Sunday School
Our Sunday school program starts at 10am and provides a loving atmosphere in which children grades PreK - 6th can learn about God's love through Biblically based lessons.
Children’s Church
Children through 2nd grade are invited to the classroom for worship, praise, and games during 11am service.
Music Lessons for Praise Team: Children, Youth, & Adults
Wednesdays from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m., musicians from our adult and youth praise teams offer music lessons to children 4th grade & up, youth, and adults. The lessons are a six week commitment, and are offered for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, chords for keyboard, and drums. The lessons are not comprehensive, but instead focus on everyone learning to play one of the songs from our praise teams. If a person desires full, comprehensive lessons on piano, guitar, etc., professional music instruction should be sought outside of these lessons. The music lessons for praise team are free, but an extra donation to the church is requested. Also, students of acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass guitar need to provide their own instrument and amp for electric instruments.
Confirmation
Our Confirmation class takes place every year for 6 weeks starting in October and ending in December when our participants are confirmed in front of our church body. During these 6 weeks, our confirmands learn and understand what it means to be a follower of Christ. Confirmation is open to children 6th grade and above.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is held during the summer in the evening time. Children learn about God through whole group assembly. Children are then placed into smaller groups by age to continue learning through music, crafts, recreation, and bible stories.
