About Our Children's Ministry
Our "Good Soil Children's Ministry" is committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your child to grow in Christ. We want our church to be the "Good Soil" where children grow and flourish; where they make friends and feel welcome in our church family.
Safety is Important! All teachers and volunteers are carefully selected and screened so that your child is not just protected, but nurtured. Every volunteer must go through a background check and safety training as part of the United Methodist Church Safe Sanctuaries guidelines.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Vera Wolski, Children's Ministry Coordinator, at: sundayschool@kiumc.org.
