Wednesday Afternoons
Methodist Midweek (M&M’s)
M&M’s is our community-wide after school program for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. It runs from 3:30-5:00 p.m. on Wednesdays during the school year. Each week children are picked up by bus at Lexington Elementary School and dropped off at the church where they enjoy a snack, music, bible story, crafts, and outdoor recreation. We sincerely believe that your child will be blessed as they study God’s word each week with their friends! Before coming for the first time, please complete the registration form and return the portions indicated to the church and school. Please call the office if you’d like us to mail you a form or click here to register online. We hope your children can join us this year!

Children’s Church
Children’s Church is a special worship experience for children (ages 4-7) who wish to participate. The children will begin in the sanctuary. After the Children’s Sermon, the Children’s Church leaders will lead children into a Sunday School classroom where they will sing songs, hear a bible story, and do a hands-on activity to put their faith into action. Children participating in Children’s Church may be picked up in the classroom following the conclusion of the worship service.
Worship Activity Folders
Worship activity folders are available in the church entrance for to engage children in the worship service who wish to stay in the sanctuary with their families.
PrayGround at the Contemporary Service
We have a “Playground” set up in the first classroom in the Family Life Center where your children can do activities and be entertained during the service by our capable nursery care providers.
Vacation Bible School
Each summer we host a community-wide Vacation Bible School for children ages 3-5th grade. It usually meets in the evenings during a week in July. At VBS children will enjoy dinner, engaging music, an interactive Bible story, a craft, and outdoor recreation.
