Ages 2-4
Q&A


What class will my child be in?
Your child's class will generally be determined by his or her birthday. Ask your nursery worker or the Sunday School teachers if you are unsure where your child should go.


What if I want to attend the early church service?
There is a combined nursery from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. in room 102 for all children under kindergarten age, for parents who choose to participate in the early church service. If you do not pick up your child after the early worship service, the nursery staff will escort your child to their Sunday School classroom at 9:30 a.m.



Ages 2-4

Options for Children Ages 2-4 at Decatur First UMC


(2-4 year olds & K-5th graders)
Your child’s faith journey brings about new and exciting discoveries! Adventure is a large group-small group worship experience that will get your kids excited about their faith experiences. From storytelling, media, and music to art, games, and discussion, your child’s vast experiences will equip him/her to begin thinking about how the Bible speaks into his/her life. Adventure meets during the 9:30 a.m. Sunday school hour. Two year olds will continue to meet in room 106 and will enjoy a Bible teaching time, music, and activities throughout the morning. Preschoolers will meet in their regularly assigned classrooms (3 year olds in room 109, 4 year olds in room 105) and will enjoy a large group worship experience in the children’s library. K-3rd graders will continue to meet in the Fellowship Hall and 4th-5th graders will meet in room 111 before enjoying a large group worship experience in the Fellowship Hall.

11:00 a.m. Ministry Offerings for Kids


(2-4 year olds)
As young children grow they explore the world around them, discovering new things everyday. While your young ones interact with their peers, they will also learn three important truths, God made me. God loves me. Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Through games, crafts, music, and storytelling, your child will come to know how much God loves him/her. Explorers meet during the 11:00 a.m. services. Two year olds will continue to meet in room 106. Three year olds will continue to meet in room 109. Four year olds will continue to meet in room 105. Three and four year olds will participate in a large group teaching time in the children’s library. Our 4 year old Explorers will be invited to sit on the front, right pews in the Sanctuary until the end of the children’s moment (at which time they will be escorted downstairs to join our 3 year old Explorers.)
