Children's Church

Children ages 3 (by September 1) through 2nd grade are invited to stay in the worship service with their families before being verbally dismissed for Children’s Church.

During Children’s Church, children gather in age-based groups to hear a Bible story connected to the morning’s sermon scripture and enjoy a related craft or activity designed to help them learn, grow, and engage with worship.

Children’s Church is divided into two age groups*: 

• Ages 3-Kindergarten
• 1st & 2nd Grade

Nursery care is available for children age 2 and younger during all worship services.

For more information, please contact our Director of Children’s Ministries, Beth Parr, at bparr@iohumc.com.

*Age groups are based on each child’s age at the beginning of the school year. Children remain in their class for the school year and move up to the next class on Promotion Sunday each August.
