Building Christ-Centered Families

Kids & Preschool

At Lewis Center UMC, we’re passionate about helping families grow strong in Christ, confident in who they are, and connected to a church community that feels like home. From toddlers to preteens — and parents too — we’re walking this faith journey together.

Lewis Center Preschool

What We Believe

Every Kid Matters

Every child is uniquely created and deeply loved by God. We help kids discover how to love God with their whole hearts and understand their identity in Christ.

Every Family Matters

No matter what your family looks like, you have incredible potential to reflect God’s love to the world. We encourage families to love others through kindness, grace, and everyday faithfulness.

What Happens at Home Matters

Faith begins at home. We equip parents and grandparents to confidently lead spiritual conversations, model authentic faith, and help their kids share their faith in natural, meaningful ways.

What Happens Around the Family Matters

You were never meant to do this alone. We surround families with a Christ-centered community that supports, encourages, and grows together.

Sunday Mornings

Faith That Comes Alive

During our 10:30 AM service, kids experience engaging worship, creative Bible teaching, and small groups designed just for them — all in a safe and welcoming environment. Every volunteer is trained and screened because your child matters to us.

  • Nursery Ministry: Loving care for infants and toddlers in our East Wing nursery.
  • Li’l Kid Connection (Ages 3–Kindergarten): An age-appropriate worship experience filled with music, Bible stories, and hands-on activities that help little ones begin to love God in ways they can understand.
  • Kid Connection (Grades 1–5): High-energy large group worship plus small group time where kids build friendships, grow in faith, and learn practical ways to love others and live out what they believe.
  • Kids’ Choir: Elementary students can lift their voices in worship during our seasonal choir — one more way to grow in confidence and share their faith.

Beyond Sunday

Where Faith Meets Fun

We believe church should be one of the best parts of a kid’s week.

  • Club 54 (4th & 5th Grade): Monthly gatherings filled with fun, fellowship, service projects, and faith-building experiences.

Big Events.
Big Joy.
Big Impact.

Throughout the year, we bring families and the community together for memorable events like:

  • Easter Egg Hunt
  • Back to School Bash
  • Trunk or Treat
  • Christmas Program

And every summer, we welcome hundreds from our community to our high-energy, unforgettable Vacation Bible School — an exciting week packed with music, games, friendships, and life-changing moments that help kids love God, love others, and share their faith in real ways.

Raising Kids Who Make a Difference

We believe children aren’t just the future of the church — they’re part of what God is doing right now. Through mission and service opportunities locally, nationally, and globally, kids learn compassion, courage, and how to live out their faith every day.

Because when families love God, love others, and share their faith, lives change — starting right here.
